Released from prison, but still tormented
28 August 2009 Posted By Patrick Disney
According to a bloody video posted on Facebook today, a 23 year old male committed suicide shortly after being released from prison by jumping off of an overpass.
The description accompanying the video explains that the boy was arrested for participating in Iran’s post-election demonstrations. “After he was tortured and raped in prison his father posted bail but they came back to take him again,” it says. “He ran away and he went up a pedestrian bridge above the Keshavarze Street in Esfahan and he threw himself over.” The man you see in the video is the boy’s father.

And NIAC still wants to stop the refined gasoline embargo and help keeping this regime of torture, rape, murder and execution in power?? When you lobby the Congress not to go forward with sanction, keep the face and words of the father in this video in mind.
Megan,
the question is not whether the Iranian government is brutal, oppressive and generally inhumane. They are. The question is whether sanctions will help the opposition or the government. If the latter, then there is no point in having them.
