Report condemns 'torture' regime in Iran
By Angus McDowell in Tehran
07 June 2004


Torture, arbritrary arrest and solitary confinement have grown in Iran since the Islamic state started a human rights dialogue with the European Union, according to a report issued by US-based Human Rights Watch.

The report accuses the judiciary and shadowy "parallel" security forces of using the techniques in prisons to quash political dissent.

A student identified only as Hossein T, told Human Rights Watch: ""The second time they took me in there they hung me from my hands. They used a baton to beat my torso. They broke my hand and I fell unconscious. When I regained consciousness, they said, 'if you lied, we will stop.' I could not speak. It is not because I am brave that I did not confess. It's because I couldn't talk," .
