March 8, 2011

Dozens of protesters who were arrested on February 14 were abused and tortured in the Afsarieh Detention Center and were transferred to Evin Prison or released after 2 to 3 days. One of the detainees who was transferred to this detention center said, “I was kept with handcuffs and blindfolds in this detention center along with a number of other people. Because of the lack of space and the high number of detainees, we were forced to sleep in a sitting position in these three days”…
This protester who was arrested in the Keshavarz Blvd along with a number of other people was directly taken to the Revolutionary Guards Forces detention center in Afsarieh in Tehran. 
“In the three days, our handcuffs were only taken off while we were eating and when we went to the restroom. They insulted us and many of the detainees were beaten by the agents”, he added.
The detainees were kept in a hall without the minimum facilities and were forced to sit on the cold ground. (Committee of Human Rights Reporters – Mar. 5, 2011)
