Tehran’s Gitmo gets no coverage

Rape and torture. Abuse. Denial of basic rights of an adherent to Islam. Are these allegations of American military treatment of terror suspects in Gitmo?

Are these allegations of American military treatment of terror suspects in Gitmo? Or tales from Abu Ghraib?

Neither.

These are reports about the horrible conditions of prisoners brought to light by a heroic Iranian doctor that, unless you read the Wall Street Journal, you’ve never heard about. You probably haven’t heard of the name of the latest martyr to the cause of a free Iran either, a cause the American government and media has chosen to bury.

The young Iranian doctor named Ramin Pourandarjani defied the regime by refusing to sign death certificates and dared to report on the conditions in the prison, which included tales of rape and murder.

Pourandarjani mysteriously ended up dead. The Iranian government said it was a car accident. And then heart attack. And then a suicide.

“I sent off my young, healthy and beautiful son to military service, and I got his dead body back,” says his mother, Ruhangiz Pourandarjani, who lives in the northwest city of Tabriz. “Anyone who says he committed suicide is lying and should be afraid of God.”

Maybe if an American had been in charge of Tehran’s torture jail Dr. Pourandarjani would still be alive today. His tales of torture would have certainly been front page news in newspapers and leading stories on television.
