Hamid-Reza Asad,prisoner , commits suicide because of torture and abuse

According to reports, a young prisoner in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj committed suicide and died after being subjected to pressure and the inhumane conditions of prison.
Hamid-Reza Asadi who had been transferred to hall 12 in section 4 of this prison five days ago had protested his condition on several occasions by going to the Head and Deputy Head of prison, Mahmoud Moghnian and Ali Mohammadi, but was met with threats and profane language every time and was sent back to his cell.
This young prisoner committed suicide after finding himself in a dead end of pressure and threats. His cellmates informed the head of the section when they realized he had committed suicide but he was taken to the infirmary after a few hours and died because of not receiving medical attention on time.
Most prisoners in Hall 12 known as the Youth Hall are between 16 and 22 years old. They were attacked several times in the past few days and about 25 prisoners were injured and taken to the infirmary after being clubbed. (Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran – Feb. 7, 2010)
