RAHANA – On April 22, 2010, Ayatollah Boroujerdi was severely beaten by prison agents and moved to an unknown location. The cleric was accused of protesting against the widespread human rights abuses that occur in prison.
Fellow inmates had unanimously supported Boroujerdi when he voiced a strong objection to the revocation of visitation rights, distribution of spoiled food, lack of hot water and medical services, lack of security, and the inhumane actions of certain prison guards. Prison officials claimed that Boroujerdi attempted to incite riots.
