Iran: Shocking Reports of Sexual Toruture of Student Activists
Archer, the Great: Last May, a group of students were arrested in Amir Kabir University (AKU), following the suspicious distribution of student newsletter which insulted the Supreme Leader. Soon, there were strong reports that the newsletter were counterfeited to create the pretext for arresting and oppressing students. For the background and the related cartoon see here.
Recently, shocking details of the torture the arrested students were surfaced, causing outrage in the Iranian blogosphere. The names of some of the arrested students are Ahmad Ghasaban (احمد قصابان), Majid Tavakkoli (مجید توکلی) and Ehsan Nansouri (احسان منصوری). Reportedly, the students underwent massive sexual torture. The Intelligence Ministry agents have reportedly raped the students using bottles, hot eggs, etc. Their screams have been reportedly heard in other rooms in the prison. Reportedly, a few students have committed suicide, as a result of excessive pressure, the traces of which are still visible on their bodies.
According to a letter published by their parents, the students have been tortured for up to 12 hours by a team of seven, at the middle of the nights. Reportedly, the torture team have been using physicians to keep the students alive while make them suffer as much as possible. The students have been also denied access to washroom and were beaten up when they lost their control.

The news is sickening and not a whisper from the "progressive Left" who incessantly talk about Abu Ghraib and when Iranians do the same thing about the atrocities occurring in Iran, we’re called all kinds of names…Perhaps the left think as "brown people", the Iranian people are used to this kind of treatment. And to think that an unscrupulous and unelected entity is auctioning their lives and liberty to AI and HRW as a bargaining chip to gain political leverage is beyond reprehensible.

Not sure if you consider Amnesty International "progressive left", but they continue to investigate
Iranian violation of human rights:
they don't seem to have much power, other than to fuel and fan
worldwide attention and condemnation.
bb-idaho:No, I don't consider AI as leaning toward "progressive left". I consider those who think Amnesty international is a CIA operation as progressive left.
