[...] Hamid Tehrani at Global Voices shows us powerful images of leading reformist and blogger Mohammad Ali Abtahi before his arrest (left photo) and how he looks at last weekend’s trial (right photo), proof for many that he has been tortured into ‘confessing.’ Hamid translates Iranian blogger Alfba’s reaction to the radical change in Abtahi’s appearance: Dear Abtahi, we know you were under pressure and you family suffered a lot. You should know what you confess, we still love you. We support you. [...]

[...] He is currently on trial in Tehran as one of the supposed ring-leaders of the post-election chaos. It is a sham, a show trial. His “confession” – “I say to all my friends and all friends who hear us, that the issue of fraud in Iran was a lie and was brought up to create riots so Iran becomes like Afghanistan and Iraq and suffers damage and hardship… and if this happened, there would be no name and trace of the revolution left” – apparently obtained under duress.

Iason Athanasiades was recently released from prison in Iran and produced a list of books he would like to have read in jail.

http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/middle-east/090715/jailbirds-summer-reading-list?page=0,1

One of them is the book ‘Tortured Confessions: Prisons and Public Recantations in Iran’ by Ervand Abrahamian, 1999. This is the definitive book on torture both in the Islamic Republic and under the Shah.

‘The book lays out in fascinating detail and with extensive documentation how torture in Iran differs from elsewhere: victims are brutalised until something other than information is obtained — a public confession and ideological recantation. For the victim whose honor, reputation and self-respect are destroyed, the act is a form of suicide.’

‘Recent examples of confessions include: Iranian-Canadian sociologist Ramin Jahanbegloo’s interview to a state-run news agency following his release; Haaleh Esfandiari’s televised confession in a hotel room presented in documentary format on state-run television; and Roxana Saberi’s signed confession in prison.’

Islamic rule has been exposed:it is as ruthless, self-righteous and tyrannical as as any rule by religious “leaders,” Men (it’s always men, no?) who claim to talk to and for God become convinced that they can do wrong. Overthrow priestly rule, as the West did or you will never be free.
