There have been allegations made in Iran that political protesters have been raped in prison.
A defeated opposition candidate in Iran's presidential election, Mehdi Karroubi, has called on former president Rafsanjani to contact the Supreme Leader on the matter.
Mr Karroubi said senior officials had informed him of the alleged male and female rape.
He said some of the victims had suffered serious injuries, with detained girls brutally assaulted and young men now suffering depression.
About 200 people who were arrested during mass protests sparked by June's disputed election are still being detained.
On Thursday, police confirmed serious violations had taken place at the Kahrizak detention centre, which has now been closed.
Most of those arrested at the protests were sent to Kahrizak.

People without human dignityYes these religious dominated countries are the scum of this planet, they do not respect human rights, and the dignity of a person.
These prison rapes are very common, because they are encouraged by religious leaders towards those who demand their rights, and by imposing this fear upon those who seek their rights, they think that this will stop people to claim their rights by having the fear of being raped while they are being detained.

RapeRape is becoming more widespread nowadays. Men is having harder times to find consensual sex. South Africa is the number one offender. Rape in Iran is probably a fabrication by the zionist. Rape usually happens in low life society. Iran I think is a cultured society. |

Rape is about power trips that happens in all races, religions, cities, states, counties and countries.
How rape victims are treated on the other hand sets countries apart from each other.
Iran requires three witnesses to come forward before a women is believed oterwise she risks being cainned, hung or beheaded for having sex.
So much for cultured society. |
