Shocking details about torturing of Amir Kabir University's arrested students

An informed source has revealed new details about the torture of AKU's students to obtain confessions. It has been noted that these details were eliminated from the written letters that parents of three of the students (Ahmad Qasaban,Majid Tavakoli and Ehsan Mansori) received.
Sources reveal that the arrested students were under great pressure from sexual torture.. During the interrogations of the students, the intelligence ministry's interrogators performed these sexual tortures on them.. One such torture involved the students being forced to lay down on their stomachs naked and then threatened with sodomy using bottles. Cries and screams from the tortured students could be heard throughout Evin prison coming from the interrogation rooms and isolated cells. It has even been reported that some tried to commit suicide in Section 209 of the prison.
Based on reports, students were interrogated by a team of 7 interrogators usually beginning at midnight and continuing for more than 12 hours during which time they were not allowed food or water. Other means of torture included not being allowed to use restroom facilities, being forced into bending over and holding their ankles or remain standing for long periods of time. Another method reported was the placing of students into cells with dangerous criminals to create mental torture.
These methods were used in order to gain confessions of the students' "activities" with reformist parties and revolutionaries such as ones supported by outside countries.
AKU University has been the location of some of the most active student protests in Tehran. Some students attending the University were arrested after some blasphemous content was published using the University Press. It is believed that this content was published by the Islamic regime using the students' name, in order to incriminate them.. Mahmood Ahmadi Nejad was encountered with extreme criticism during his visit to AKU University last year.
