Tehran, 22 Feb. (AKI) - Sommayah Batinat, wife of Ahmad Batebi, a student who has been in jail since protests in July 1999, was arrested on Wednesday night after denouncing to the international media, including Adnkronos International (AKI), that her husband was still in detention despite his poor health. Plainclothes officials reportedly brought the woman to an undisclosed location.
Batinat had said that her husband was in very serious condition after reporting a concussion at Tehran's Evin prison but had been transferred back to jail despite the protests from the hospital where he was treated.
Batebi was arrested in July 1999 after he became a symbol of the students' movement following the publication on the front page of British magazine The Economist of a picture of him holding the bloodied shirt of a fellow student killed by police at a students' rally.
"Ahmad was seriously depressed after he had been trasferred to a new wing of Evin where drug addicts and pushers are detained," his wife told Adnkronos International (AKI) the day before her arrest.
Last summer another student detained since 1999, Akbar Mohammadi, died in jail of a heart attack.
Ahmad Batebi
Kinda sounds like Germany during WWII.
pong
Soviet Union
The next thing you will hear is that this guy died from a cerebral hemorrhage due to lead poisoning.
You won't hear a thing now that Ahmand Batebi's wife has been "detained." They will probably kill her after raping her and torturing her to death. This is the price they pay for speaking out against the Mullahs. There are tens of thousands languishing in conditions we would consider cruelty to animals let alone people. Many have already been tortured and killed and the UN and the International Media are SILENT!!!!!
Their blood is crying out for justice. Where is it?
