Student activist tortured to confess to lies

Mohsen Abdi, an archeologist major at the Bu-Ali Sina University in Hamedan who was arrested after Ashura on December 27, 2009 in Tehran told his mother in his first visit with her that he was physically tortured to confess to participating in the 'seditions'.
This jailed student activist is currently held in Evin Prison's Public Section and was trialed in a court in this prison before this. His lawyer, Mohammad Oliyayi Far, who was recently arrested, was not able to go to court to pursue his case because the court was inside the prison.
