Featured Broker sponsored link TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's defeated
presidential candidate Mehdi Karoubi said
some of those detained after the country's
disputed June presidential vote had been
raped in detention, according to his website on Sunday.
“Some senior officials told me that ... really shameful issues ... Some
young male detainees were raped ... also some young female detainees
were raped in a way that have caused serious injuries,” the website
quoted a letter Karoubi wrote 10 days ago to Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani,
head of a powerful arbitration body, as saying.
