Soldier becomes paralyzed after months of torture in base

A conscript soldier in Zahedan has become paralyzed because of ‘physical punishments, 96 hours of solitary cell and being forced to do heavy work” in the base where he was serving.
Farzad Fatahi Naghani was tortured in 2009 because of his 75 day absence.
The Medical Commission and the Medical Examiner have announced that the ‘negligence of the commanders of the relevant military base” are the cause of his paralysis.
This soldier’s parents tend to their 21 year old son everyday one year and seven months after this negligence.
After Farzad became bed-ridden, his insurance and financial support has been cut and his family has not received compensation.
Officials have threatened his father not to pursue this case.
According to Farzad’s father, instead of punishing the person responsible for this incident, he was given a promotion. (Ruyesh News website – Jul. 19, 2011)
