Cambridge police placed the veteran professor inside a van and drove at full speed, then came to a full stop thus made him fly inside the all-metal compartment in the back of the van. His head smashed against a bar and was taken to a hospital.
July 02, 2010 (Hamsayeh.Net) – Renowned Iranian-American political science professor and analyst, Kaveh Afrasiabi, has accused the US police in Cambridge of extensive brutality against him during his unlawful arrest and custody in an interview with Iran’s Press TV on Thursday.
Afrasiabi said he was arrested on a flimsy ground that he had an outstanding traffic violation ticket some 25 years ago. ‘The Cambridge police gave me a racist attitude, asked for my [drivers] license and arrested me on the spot on a flimsy basis that some 25 years ago I did not pay a driving violation fine — which I have [paid],’ he said.
