Mehdi Karroubi disputed claims made by two members of the special judiciary committee tasked with investigating jail rapes that he had presented them with no documented proof of his allegations. The opposition cleric turned over a medical report on one jail rape victim tortured in detention and signaled his readiness to turn over more proof.

“I offered them three documents at the meeting,” Karroubi said. “The first was a video statement by the individual who has gone missing because of threats issued by the representative of Judge Saeed Mortazavi. My second document was about the [sexual] assault of a woman. The third was a document about one man who was subjected to various calamities after his arrest and I offered a CD and the medical examiner’s report on him as well. In that session I also offered two verbal reports as well.”
