A philosophy major student talks about tortures he witnessed while in custody of paramilitary Bassij forces. He was arrested on Monday near International University of Ghazvin and taken to a Bassij garrison were held.
“People were held in semi-dark basement with their eyes closed and received daily ration of beatings with chains and batons,” he said.
They would not let us sleep and did not feed us enough. We were under psychological pressure, the student added.
“In their interrogations they wanted us to confess that our professors who were arrested earlier had talked us into participating in anti-government demonstrations,” the philosophy students said.
