The statement reads: “As I presented the documents, I told the story of a woman who was detained in a street rally. Another document was about a man who belongs to an authorized political group. The man’s mother had contacted me earlier and had sent him to me. He had documents from the coroner’s office as well as a CD that showed his cuts and bruises caused by heavy beatings.”
“He said he went unconscious under torture and beatings and does not know what they did to him. He spent only five days in detention but he was so brutally beaten during those few days that the torture agents thought he was dying. They had told him they were transferring him to Evin Prison but they left him blindfolded with hands tied in the outskirts of the city.
Karoubi added, “I presented these documents in our first meeting. I also talked about two other cases which lacked written documents. One of them was the case of the genuine Taraneh Mousavi… The second oral document that I presented in the first meeting was about a woman named Saeedeh Pouragha’i… So in the last meeting, I presented only one more document about a woman who was detained on the street and was raped along with another girl in the same place. I told the committee that this woman was terrified and worried and says, ‘If my parents know about my story, I will kill myself.’”
In his statement, Kaorubi continues, “The three-man committee in their rushed report to the head of Judiciary has asked for fair but decisive trial of me… the extent of indecency has reached such a level that instead of putting the criminals, the agents and causes of atrocities on trial, they wish to take me, Mehdi Karoubi, to court. The three-man committee has finished its job and asked for my trial but I leave the judgment to people and God.”
