Atrocious Rape of Men and Women in Prisons    

 In a letter to the head of Iran’s Assembly of Experts on Leadership (which supervises the performance of the supreme leader of the Islamic republic), Mehdi Karoubi, the former Speaker of Iran’s Majlis (national assembly) and the protesting presidential candidate in the official results of the June 12 election has asked that the reports of rape of men and women who have been detained following the protests over the June 12 presidential elections be investigated.

In his letter, Karubi states that this information has been provided to him by individuals in ‘sensitive posts’ in the Iranian government and other prominent personalities, including Iran-Iraq war veterans.

The letter is important because this is the first time that an official at this level officially talks about rape of prisoners and asks for a clarification of the issue. This issue has been raised many times in the past, but only by non-officials.

The text of the letter has been published by Saham News, the official newspaper of the Etemad Melli party, founded by Karoubi. “Even if there is one single rape case, it is a disaster for the Islamic republic, exonerating many dictatorial regimes, including the former Shah’s,” the letter writes.

“I do not think that prisoners in the pre-revolution regime (i.e. the Shah’s) had seen or heard of such crimes,” Karoubi writes. “Some detained individuals have talked about such savage rapes that have left the women victims with physical scars and ruptures in their reproductive systems. At the same time, young imprisoned boys have been raped in such atrocious ways causing them depression, physical and psychological pain, leading to their complete withdrawal from everybody,” Karoubi writes in his letter.

Karoubi asks that this issue be investigated by an independent and transparent body appointed by the head of the Experts Assembly on Leadership.

The head of Etemad Melli party writes that upon hearing of such savagery, he was so shaken that he could not sleep that night. The Assembly of Experts is presided by former president and Majlis Speaker Hashemi Rafsanjani. In his letter, Karoubi also asks Rafsanjani to raise the issue with ayatollah Khamenei so that the issue is investigated. He has also announced his readiness to take up the responsibility of undertaking such an investigation and even made a religious pledge to carry out such an enquiry without any pre-judgments and full respect for justice.

Karoubi says in the letter that only two copies of his request have been produced, one sent to Rafsanjani and the other to the leader.

Karoubi’s letter also talks of other crimes that have taken place in the country’s detention centers and lists, “unnecessary arrests, physical beatings, inflicting injuries on people to the point of killing the victims, raids on people’s houses, bloody confrontations at university dormitories, violent treatment of people, even women on the streets of different towns – in unprecedented levels,” many of which he says can be prosecuted. In his letter, Karoubi also states that had he not heard the stories of released detainees, he would not have believed the claims of others.

Till now, no official in the Islamic republic has acknowledged or responded to Karoubi’s letter. It should be noted that the issues that Karoubi raises in his letter have been reported by released detainees and published in some news reports as coming from independent individuals.

Last week, Rooz Online published an interview with a released prisoner from the Kahrizak prison in which the detainee talks of witnessing three incidents where young imprisoned men were raped in the prison.

It doesn’t matter who is who, but it’s important to see what’s happening in our world.

It’s really disgusting, I felt heartache when I was reading saying of those who was released from prisons on the net, horrible!!!

We heard already about many horrible detentions like Guantanamo or Abu ghoraib but this one (Kahrizak) is a real hell.

I don’t know why they called themselves Islamic Republic? It means that adultery and pederasty are Islamic??? Or raping to women and young men?

Sure it sounds awful. But has any of it been proven yet?

I don't know it is real or no? we need some proof that it is real. Don't judge without proof!!

there are lots of evidences that will support my speeches.some of them are released & some will be.

Lawmakers Banned from Discussing Rape

The Speaker of Iran’s eight Majlis Ali Larijani denied allegations of sexual abuse of detainees yesterday while several Majlis lawmakers confirmed such reports in interviews with Rooz.  They added, however, that they had been banned from discussing the matter.  Meanwhile, pro-government media outlets demanded the prosecution of Karoubi for disclosing the existence of rape in prisons. 

These debates are broiling while one Majlis lawmaker told Rooz, “During the special Majlis committee’s visit of the Evin Prison, several prisoners openly talked about sexual abuse; even though they did not specifically use the word ‘rape’ and only spoke about sexual abuse.” 

Expressing his surprise with Ali Larijani’s remarks that he made on Wednesday in which he denied the allegation of rape in Iranian prisons, this lawmaker added, “It would have been better if he had waited a few days, even if for the sake of appearances; because on Tuesday he spoke about the necessity of ‘investigating’ Karoubi’s claims, but the next day he denied them.  What could have happened during this short time to push him towards his new conclusion?”

Meanwhile, members of the special Majlis committee formed to investigate detainee conditions visited a group of detainees at Evin Prison.  The issue of sexual abuse was brought up at the meeting and, this time, a number of prisoners spoke in more detail about tortures, rape and sexual abuse.  

Rape Has Been Proven

At the same time, Majid Ansari, a prominent member of the Assembly of Combatant Clergy [Majma Rohaniyoon Mobarez], announced that there are many reported cases of rape in prisons.

Ansari added, “Unfortunately, the reports are true.  One must wish for death that the situation in the Islamic Republic has become so dire that such horrors are committed.  There has been not one but numerous cases of rape.” 

This member of the Assembly of Combatant Clergy told IRNA that the incidence of rape has been proven and that the reports have been sent to “authorities.”  This type of reference to “authorities” in the Islamic Republic is usually reserved for the supreme leader. 

The National Trust [Etemad Melli] Party spokesperson Ismail Gerami Moghaddam also announced that Karoubi’s knowledge of these crimes exceeds what has been revealed so far.  Speaking to BBC, he said that he was surprised with Ali Larijani’s flip-flop on the issue, and the fact that he reversed his stance from “investigation” to “denial” in just one day.

Mousavi Criticizes Prison Conditions

Mir-Hossein Mousavi, the candidate who opposed the June 12 election results, announced in this connection, “What transpires in prisons today clearly illustrates the need for fundamental reform in the country.” 

Meeting with members of the Reform Coalition Council, Mousavi said, “None of the caring revolutionary forces wanted such events to transpire in our country one day, and worse yet, for them to justified with repeated lies.”  He added, “The biggest lie is to connect the people’s natural demand for reform to foreigners.” 

Expediency Council member Mohsen Rezaei also demanded that all relevant authorities be dismissed from their posts and punihed if the reports are proven to be true.” 

Meeting with members of the Lawyers Association in Defense of Human Rights, he said, “If in the Islamic Republic one official commits immoral and unethical acts, national mourning must be declared, let alone if such acts are committed against the nation’s youth.” 

Supreme Leader’s Tacit Reaction

In a tacit reaction to Karoubi’s remarks about rape in Iranian prisons, ayatollah Khamenei said on Wednesday, “Unfortunately some do not have the capacity for enough understanding; they don’t understand at all.  They suddenly say something that favors Islamic Republic’s enemies.”

According to the <st1:place w:st="on">Fars</st1:place> news agency, the leader of the Islamic republic said during the meeting with his staff, “It is easy for suspicion to enter a person’s mind; it is hard to wipe it clean.” 

Meanwhile, Larijani announced yesterday on the Majlis floor that, “Because of the sensitivity of the subject, I had asked the Majlis fact-finding committee to investigate the matter, and their inquiry has concluded that no evidence of rape or sexual abuse was documented in a thorough and detailed investigation of the Kahrizak detention facility and Evin Prison.” 

In a similar reaction, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, head of the Majlis National Security Committee dismissed Karoubi’s letter as being unreasonable, announcing, “I spoke with the Tehran prosecutor this morning and told him that the issues discussed in the letter are insulting to the regime.” 

Widespread Attacks on Karoubi

Pro-government media outlets unleashed widespread attacks on Mehdi Karoubi following the publication of his letter.  The IRNA news agency published a series of articles and interviews demanding Mehdi Karoubi’s prosecution and accused his advisors of supplying him with false information.  The Fars news agency, which is close to the Islamic Revolution Passdaran Guards Corps, also published a series of interviews with people who accused Karoubi of being a “simpleton.” 

However, the harshest attacks against the former Majlis speaker came from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s supporters at Kayhan newspaper.  Hossein Shariatmadari wrote in the paper’s main editorial, “People value their revolution and Islamic regime very much and will not allot people such as Mehdi Karoubi to play their dignity in order to appease the CIA and Mossad.”

Shariatmadari also demanded that the judiciary summon Karoubi, noting that his crime is consequential, and his punishment must be proportional.
