An Iranian nuclear scientist who claimed to have been abducted by the CIA and who returned to a hero's welcome in Tehran in July has been imprisoned and tortured on suspicion of giving away state secrets, according to an opposition website.
Iranbriefing.net – run by a US-based group that normally reports on political prisoners and the activities of Iran's revolutionary guard – said the scientist, Shahram Amiri, had been interrogated intensively for three months in Tehran before spending two months in solitary confinement, where his treatment left him hospitalised for a week.
The Tehran authorities would not confirm or deny the account. Asked to comment, a spokesman for Iran's judiciary said: "I haven't heard anything about this [his arrest] and I don't have any information regarding this matter."
>>>Huh, after all the fairy tales that he was tortured by the CIA and the Zionists he can now really boast to have been tortured. But this time tortured at the hands of the greatest terrorist regime in the world.
Death to the Islamic Republic.

A confirmation required for this story is an understatement.
Rocket scientist or an idiot?
by PArviz on Wed Jan 05, 2011 05:03 AM PSTThis guy might be a nuclear or rocket scientist but he is an idiot when it comes to his dealings with the criminal mullah regime. He became a pawn in the filthy hands of the barbaric Islamists who so ruthlessly rule Iran.
You do not need to be a nuclear scientist to know serving this regime is against Iran and Iranians. It is a punishable crime. This time, this guy is paying for it sooner than expected.
Despite being an accomplice in developing the nuclear weapons for this medieval regime, I hope he gets a break and gets back to his family.
Down with the ENTIRE Islamic Republic!
