Lawyer Mohammad Hosseini: All Confessions Were Under Torture

Lawyer Mohammad Hosseini says all confessions were under torture

The lawyer of Mohammad Hosseini, one of the defendants in the case of a Basij member’s murder in Karaj, says his client was severely tortured in prison.

Ali Sharifzadeh Ardakani, the defense lawyer, announced on Twitter that he managed to meet Mohammad Hosseini in prison.

Mr. Sharifzadeh wrote, ‘I met with Seyed Mohammad Hosseini in Karaj prison. His account was all tears from torture: beating with eyes, hands, and feet tied, to being kicked in the head and losing consciousness, from iron bars to the soles of the feet, and electric shocks to various parts of the body of a man whose confessions were under torture and have no legal validity.’

Mohammad Hosseini is the second defendant in the case of the murder of a Basij member named Rouhollah Ajamian, who was killed during a security forces’ attack on participants in the 40th-day ceremony of Hadis Najafi.

It has been reported that Mr. Hosseini has been sentenced to death in this matter.

Mr. Sharifzadeh Ardakani wrote on Twitter in response to users that he has signed a power of attorney with Mr. Hosseini for appealing the death sentence.
