Forced Confessions

A reader spotted the following political cartoon by Nikahang Kousar:
Translation:
“we were…..revolution…..velvet matches……I’m sorry the interrogator’s hand writing is not readable.”
In a related note, the popular radio show This American Life recently told the story of Omid Memarian as he discussed how Iranian intelligence agents forced him to confess to things he’d never done in 2004.

Thanks.
I read an article about Iranian refugees and would like to offer some support to the refugees in Turkey. Are there any formal avenues to assist?
Thank you,
