A teenager's story, with graphic photos, of abuse at the hands of Iran's religious paramilitaries, the Basij
Editor's note: Salon has obtained an e-mail, written in Farsi, circulating among Iranian American activists that tells the story of a 17-year-old boy who says he was tortured by government agents in Tehran.

"All of a sudden agents in black uniforms and helmets carrying batons broke the door and entered. We tried to hide behind the big trash bin at the end of the parking but one of them saw us, whistled and informed the rest of them who were just leaving the parking. It was just baton strikes all over my body after that, and we were transferred to the minus 4 level of Ministry of Intelligence building. There were a lot of riot police in black uniforms like those on the streets there. They were mostly non-Farsi speakers, and those who spoke Farsi kept telling us they could kill us right away and no one would ever know, they were also insulting us with very bad words."
"One of them asked me if Mr. Khatami would come save us, while they were breaking my fingers and cutting the finger webs. Although I swore a thousand times that I had not voted and had never participated in any demonstration, they didn't care and just kept beating me hard. I fainted once or twice but there were some of us who fainted every time their bones were broken, and as soon as they gained their consciousness, the riot police started beating them again. I was trying to contract my muscles to avoid further bone fracture."

Along with a few other less innocuous tendencies.
This is obviously much worse than water-boarding or panties on the head, but the lefties might debate that.
I wish someone in the White House would smash this article into you know who’s face when he gets back from his golf expedition.
Dream on. Our nightmare has just started. The Fraud and Impostor in the White House, his minions in Congress and his master George Soros have just begun here. My guess is soon we too will be facing the same terrors which are afflicting the Iranian people.
Or the basest of evil people or the worst of traitors could possibly sit in the Oval Office without doing much more much quicker than he has.
On the other hand, Bush I, salivating after potential foreign profits, carried on business as usual after Tienanmen Square with the butchers from Peking.
America needs a rebirth of its founding principles and making a profit on other people's misery, or electing a socialist demagogue isn't a part of them.
After reading this and seeing the pictures, I am sure President obi might consider continuing to monitor this situation.
President Barak Obama is horribly on the wrong side of history. How can he be excused for his negligence in not helping those innocent people in their struggle against treacherous tyranny? He will be hated for it, and hated forever. Iranians are not America’s enemy. The evil regime that rules them is our enemy.
I’m not sure Iranians are descendants of Ishmael. They are not Arabs.
Dear leader Zer0 would show compassion for the Islamists. I would prefer to send them to search for Virginians via Mossy 500.
azzi28: @iranbaan Thugs were setting fire on trees of the streets of ShahrakGharb from which AllahAkbar was shouted. #iranelection
Setting trees on fire to burn protestors down from trees.
One tweet I saw earlier today.
Obama has given his approval to the actions of the regime ~ he’s part of the problem now.
If there was ever a time that a few well placed Golden BB’s are needed it is there and now.
Jimmy Carter, the 2nd Worst President in US history, went out of his way to create this evil regime from our close ally, the Shah’s Iran.
I will let you guess who the #1 Worst President is.....
“My guess is soon we too will be facing the same terrors which are afflicting the Iranian people.”
Hardly likely - Americans are armed. Those Persians are not.
I disagree. Since when has any democrat been held accountable for anything?
Obama could be filmed having sex with little boys and he'd get a pass.
>>Obama could be filmed having sex with little boys and he’d get a pass. <<
...at Disney World on the Teacups and he’d still get a pass.
I agree; but I am afraid the wimp in charge will never be a real man.
I hope to God the evil regime in Iran gets overthrown. They have been in power for 30 years too long ! A gift from Jimmy Carter that still keeps on giving !
