A Protester's Purported Account of Rape in Detention
"I was standing in the square (baharestan) I was watching the crowd. All of a sudden a filthy bearded guy appeared in front of me and said, "what the hell are you doing here?"
I said, "Nothing."
He said, "Let me see your purse."
Inside my purse he found my camera.
He took me and forced me into a minibus.
They immediately tied something around my eyes and started hitting me with all their might. When the minibus started moving they took out their electric baton and would keep it on my body for 4-5 seconds till it made me have epileptic-like fits.
Then they took me to a villa. The tied our hands in the back and told us to kneel on the ground like in prayer (for 12 hours they kept us like that!)
The interrogator entered the room and said, "You take Mousavi’s side??? He, whose wife was a whore before the revolution, Yes?? Now I will show you.
During the interrogation (lets not get into how much they molested us) I was one of the lucky ones, when they interrogated the girl next to me the guy had his hand up her underwear.
A pretty girl who was there was taken to another room the minute they saw her!
They also tortured us mentally. They had put a chair there and had connected it to electricity. They asked, "Who paid you to come out and demonstrate?" There was a noise from the electrically charged chair, "tell me who your bosses are or I will have you for the night. In the end they made us sign a paper blind folded. It was 4:30 a.m. when they took, us to a square in the south of Tehran and let us go and asked us to open our blind folds in five minutes.
