Committee of Human Rights Reporters

Jahangir Abdollahi, a master's degree political science student at Tehran University is under physical torture to accept charges made against him.
According to an informed source, interrogators have forced this Kurd student 'to sit on the ground' in long interrogation sessions and this has caused muscles problems for him. He has been taken to the Evin Prison infirmary 'on several occasions' for this reason.
Prison officials have also given him pills as medicine which has caused him to have 'severe insomnia' and Abdollahi has not been able to sleep for 'three days'.
On the other, he has been threatened to execution many times and interrogators have told him that they would 'execute him like Ehsan Fatahian'.
This Kurd student is a Sunni and interrogators have also insulted his religious beliefs on several occasions.
Jahangir Abdollahi was arrested on January 26, 2010 while boarding a university bus.
This student has only stated in a short visit with his family that he is under pressure to accept the charge of having had 'communications with the Kurdistan Democratic Party'.
