Kaveh Afrasiabi

Academic says he's victim of U.S. police brutality

Press TV: An Iranian-American university professor and senior political analyst, Kaveh Afrasiabi, has detailed US police brutality against him while in custody in Cambridge. Speaking to Press TV in an exclusive interview on Thurday, Afrasiabi said that police denied him his constitutional rights and racially discriminated against him. "They put me alone in van and they drove in full speed and [suddenly] they came to a full stop. And then I went flying into a metal shield and my head smashed against the bar. I was taken by an ambulance to a hospital, where I was diagnosed with severe head concussion and was treated," Afrasiabi told Press TV on Thursday >>>

That is how Kaveh lives his life both here and in Iran. His family members also have some interesting stories about them.

unacceptable if true

The primary relevant document in a case of alleged police brutality is the hospital records. Instead Afrasiabi presents as evidence his purported arrest documents. Weak case! He is entitled to a fair review of his complaint however, regardless of his politics, personality, or past actions. Unconditionaly observing the rights of others protects all of us.

The police should help, but they are useless. Only they can give ticket. If the people take your materials, they do not do anything. They are useless.

by Raoul1955 on Fri Jul 02, 2010 11:59 AM PDT

can't speak English after living in the States for how many years now?
Also, this guy seems very comfortable moving his neck and arms. 
Lastly, if he was in fact 'abused' then he can retain a civil rights attorney...  :-) 
Where are the DEMOCRATS when you need one?  LOL.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

poetic justice for IRI thugs and agents.  I just sent a donation to the Cambridge Police.  Hopefully, the Secret Service will do the same thing to Ahmadinejad next time he comes to the U.S. to talk nonsense at the UN.

PS- This guy is an unregistered agent of a foreign government (IRI) and should be arrested immediately.  His U.S. citizenship should also be revoked.

Slow down

Moving the hand and neck which are in the brace so swiftly while talking to the Islamist Rapists’ propaganda organ might endanger not only health, but impact the outcome of any possible lawsuit for negligence.

On the positive side for readers of I’ve been wronged genre, like the case with Harvard University, the good Doctor Afrasiabi can write number of self-published books on his ordeal.
