And now we hear from Babak Ebrahimi (middle), brother of Maziar Ebrahimi who recently testified about imprisonment and torture at the hand of intelligent services in #Iran, framed for assassination of nuclear scientists 7 years ago.
His brother was in Syria when he was arrested.
Babak was working as a make-up artist in Syria where he got married. He was arrested shortly after Maziar's arrest & transferred to prison under control of Lebanese Hezbollah. His wife who was three months pregnant is also arrested. His interrogator was Iranian.
#Iran
Babak was tortured for 20 days in Hezbollah's prison with brutal beatings, then transferred for 2 months to Syrian Intelligence prisons and then sent to #Iran to section 209 of Evin prison where he was interrogated for 2 months threatening to execute him and his wife.
When Babak is released from prison he sees his wife & child for the 1st time in a year. $10,000 cash, an Apple tablet, 2 mobile phones that were his belongings when arrested were never returned. His wife also had to pay $12,000 in Syria. All make-up equipment were taken.
#Iran
Babak has to leave #Iran and now he is working as a construction worker supporting his family of 4 thanks to "Imam-Mahdi soldiers". He asks, "can you go back in time so that I can be bedside to my wife giving birth to my son?"
