🚨They “confessed” under the threat of death and sexual violence after being transferred out of Section 209 of Tehran’s Evin Prison to a location outside prison, where Ministry of Intelligence agents warned them that prison regulations did not apply.

🚨They were held in solitary confinement for 60 days in violation of the absolute prohibition of torture and other ill-treatment.
🚨Ministry of Intelligence denied them access to an independent lawyer for the first 13 months of their detention.

.@Amnesty learned that since then, Ministry of Intelligence agents visited Amirhossein Moradi’s father & made vague promises about the possibility of his son’s release in exchange for agreeing to a “friendly” interview with state TV & publicly criticising dissidents.
