Jailed student and brother tortured in prison

Shabnam Madadzadeh, the assistant secretary of the OCU Council in Tehran and her brother were sentenced to five years of prison.
Finally after one year of being temporarily detained and six trials, Shabnam Madadzadeh who is also a member of the Teacher Training University's Islamic Association and her brother were each sentenced to 5 years of prison to be served in exile in Gohardasht Prison.
In the issued verdict for Shabnam and her brother, they were charged with moharebeh (enmity with God) based on article 186 of the Islamic Penal Code. This article refers to having communications with groups or parties that have carried out armed struggle against the Islamic Republic. This is while Shabnam Madadzadeh is considered a member of the Office for Consolidating Unity which is a union for all Islamic Associations in the country and the largest student organization that is critical of the government. In addition to this, the issued sentence only refers to Shabnam's family connections and nothing else that would incriminate her.
In the last trial for this brother and sister which was held with the presence of Interrogator Alavi and Interrogator Sheikhan, two head interrogators in Evin Prison, these two Ministry of Intelligence experts denied any use of torture or beatings against the Madadzadehs during interrogations. When Judge Moqiseyi asked Shabnam what she meant when she talked of torture, this student activist referred to being severely beaten, punched and kicked, and flogged with whips and cables in addition to 71 days in solitary. Judge Moqiseyi reaction (to her statements) was, "you call this torture"?!
This sentence was announced to the Madadzadehs last Tuesday. This jailed brother and sister were not allowed to read the whole verdict and Shabnam's persistence to read the whole verdict and her request to document her objection in court led to a severe dispute with the head of office in the 28th branch of the (Revolutionary) Court.
The court verdict has not yet been announced to their lawyer, Mohammad Oliayi Fard. When the sentence was being announced to the Madadzadehs, and when Shabnam obligated the court to announce the sentence to her lawyer, the head of office for the 28th branch of this court, known as Mr. Mojtaba, said that this request by the assistant secretary of the OCU in Tehran was a political move.
Oliayi Fard, the Madadzadeh's lawyer has announced that he would protest the verdict. (Human Rights Activists in Iran – Feb. 12, 2010)
