Iran’s police chief said on Wednesday that an investigation had found no evidence that election protesters detained in a now closed detention centre had been raped as alleged by opposition groups.
“It has been proved that there was no rape in Kahrizak,” the ISNA news agency quoted Esmail Ahmadi Moghaddam as saying, referring to the notorious detention centre south of Tehran.
Moghaddam acknowledged that “some offences were committed” at the jail but he did not elaborate on the details.
Three of the centre’s warders and around a dozen judiciary and police personnel are awaiting trial in the case.
