Karroubi's son beaten by regime thugs

Iranian forces beat the son of an OPPOSITION leader for five hours after events marking the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Republic.
The bearded men in plainclothes who grabbed Ali from a crowd of anti-regime protesters and hauled him to a nearby mosque had no idea who they had arrested.
It wasn't until the regime thugs had finished beating him and the 50 or so other young men they had rounded up that they checked his identity papers.
Then, when they realised that Ali Karroubi, 36, was the son of Mehdi Karroubi, a leader of Iran's opposition Green Movement, they started beating him again - this time with sticks and batons.
'When they recognised who my brother was, the militia tried to punish him so badly,' said Mohammed Taghi Karroubi, the reformist politician's eldest son.
'His wrist was fractured, he received so many lashes on his back and legs and his internal bleeding was so bad he was vomiting up blood. He was tortured by the basij and the police for five or six hours before they released him'. (The Telegraph – Feb. 13, 2010)

In a seperate letter, Fatime Karoubi, his mother, and wife to MehdiKaroubi, writes to Khamenie, and while attaining her loayalty to all Velayat faghih rituals and his Leadership, complaints of the fact that her son was dragged into a mosque and beaten and threatend with rape. This is where Mrs. Karoubi is very annoyed and writes that "Those who took my son and other youth and used the house of Islam to insult them of un imaginable sins that are punishable by death under Islamic Laws" are smearing the Islamic republic by these actions.
