That in no way defends Israel or her rotten ethnic cleansing. However, so far as I can determine, even captured Palestinian suicide bombers aren’t treated as badly as human rights demonstrators in Khamenei’s Iran. Seriously, is there any counterpart to this in Israeli jails?:
The new arrivals were ordered to strip to their underwear and stand in lines.
Two Basiji “rubbed our genital areas with their batons, calling us ‘scum’
and saying ‘Ah, yes, the balls of the foot soldiers of the heretic
Mousavi’,” Ardeshir recalled. “They then promised that we would confess to
trying to overthrow the divine regime.”
The next day two Basiji took a 17-year-old schoolboy from the cell that
Ardeshir was in. “Ten minutes later we heard him screaming and crying. It
then went suddenly silent,” Ardeshir said.
“A couple of minutes later two Basiji grabbed me … I felt faint and wanted
to cry when faced with a scene I had never before in my life imagined …
The boy, completely naked, was seemingly unconscious on the mat, his face in
a pile of vomit and with blood around his rectum.
“A Basiji called Mahmoud said, ‘Take a good look. That will happen to you if
you resist, you faggot lover of Mousavi’.
“The Basiji then said: ‘Now you.’ “They threw me on my back on the ground.
Mahmoud then urinated on my face, saying that this would teach me not to
oppose the divine wishes of the Great Leader of the Revolution. ‘We have
been sent to re-educate you, you spoilt Western piece of shit,’ he said.
“They took off my underwear and made me go around on all fours. Then Mahmoud
said it was time for my punishment. I was still on all fours when he began
to rape me. As he penetrated me I cried out and felt as if I would throw up.
He told me that if I didn’t stop screaming he would stick his baton up me.
“When he was done, another Basiji came up and raped me. At this point I felt
that I was not me. I seemed to have shut down and separated from my body.
All I could think of when it was going to end, andwas why these people who
claim to be the most religious in our society can do such things?”
Every other day Basiji would choose detainees from the cell to rape. “The
third time they dragged me from the cell, I momentarily escaped their grip
and ran to a corner. I screamed, ‘You say you are Muslim. How can you rape
and humiliate us in this way?’. They laughed and said they had religious
sanction from the Leader [Ayatollah Khamenei] to do so because we had gone
against his word.
“Three guys then dragged me from the corner. I was shoved against the wall,
face first. Two guys spread my legs and once again I was raped by them. I
just cried and prayed for God to take my life. After the third man finished
Mahmoud said, ‘This is for insubordination. I warned you. I then felt a
large object shoved up my rectum. I think I lost consciousness because the
next thing I knew I was back in the cell.
“It’s hard to explain what it was like in that cell. All of us were in shock.
Those of us who had been raped spoke the least and cried the most.
“They also liked to take several of us out at the same time and forced us to
ride each other, doggy-style, whilst naked. They laughed and took pictures
with their mobile phones. They would watch this for ten minutes and then
proceed to rape.”
