Unlucky to me, the ward advocate Mohammad Karami – otherwise known as ...
... Mohammad Tifil – came into the quarantine section. He picked me for torture to teach others a lesson. Guard officer Khamsabadi and others beat me with pipes, fastened my feet, and hanged me upside down. Officer Ganjbakhs also came to help Khamsabadi beat me with pipes...
...Other prisoners began to say Salavat (prayer) loudly, but it was no good as the hits became more savage. After about 20 minutes they brought me down. I couldn’t stand on my feet. Clutching to my friends' arms, I was taken to the toilet to have a splash of water on my face ...
...and my wounds washed so I come out of shock.

... he let me, go a miracle happened and I could breathe again. It was a wonderful feeling. I was in shock and have no idea how I could survive the night. I wish it were all a nightmare, the torture, and being naked in front of 150-160 people, but it was not.
