Iran: Detainees flogged, sexually abused and given electric shocks in gruesome post-protest crackdown – Amnesty International new report

Sep 02, 2020 editorfz Articles, Articles, News, Reports Comments Off on Iran: Detainees flogged, sexually abused and given electric shocks in gruesome post-protest crackdown – Amnesty International new report


Amnesty International, 2 September 2020, 00:00 UTC

Iran’s police, intelligence and security forces, and prison officials have committed, with the complicity of judges and prosecutors,  a catalogue of shocking human rights violations, including arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance, torture and other ill-treatment, against those detained in connection with the nationwide protests of November 2019, said Amnesty International in a damning new report published today.

The report, Trampling humanity: Mass arrests, disappearances and torture since Iran’s 2019 November protests, documents the harrowing accounts of dozens of protesters, bystanders and others who were violently arrested, forcibly disappeared or held incommunicado, systemically denied access to their lawyers during interrogations, and repeatedly tortured to “confess”. They are among the 7,000 men, women and children arrested by the Iranian authorities within a matter of days during their brutal repression of the protests.
