Iranian Prison Guards Allegedly Give Inmates Condoms to ‘Mass Rape’ Opposition Activists

Iranian Prison Guards Allegedly Give Inmates Condoms to Mass Rape Opposition Activists Iran continues to be a nation that exercises strict government control over its citizens’ lives. Considering the stories that continue to emerge about the government’s horrific treatment of its people, one can barely imagine the elevated horror that exists inside of Iran’s infamous prisons.

Following the 2009 anti-government protests, hundreds of opposition activists were detained. Now, these individuals have secretly written letters claiming that prison guards regularly give condoms to violent inmates and urge them to rape the imprisoned dissidents. The Guardian has more:

A series of dramatic letters written by prisoners and families of imprisoned activists allege that authorities are intentionally facilitating mass rape and using it as a form of punishment.

Mehdi Mahmoudian, an outspoken member of Iran’s Participation Front, a reformist political party, is among those prisoners who have succeeded in smuggling out letters revealing the extent of rape inside some of the most notorious prisons…

“During exercise periods, the strong ask for sex without any consideration. Criminals are repeatedly seen with condoms in hand, hunting for their victims,” an unnamed [activist's] family member told Jaras.

According to victims, some prisoners are taken room to room at night and raped repeatedly. All of this occurs with guards ignoring complaints (and, again, allegedly providing the condoms).

While rape victims typically hide the crime in order to protect the honor of their family in many Middle Eastern nations, the letters that have leaked out offer some of the only information available on the activists’ lives following their imprisonment.

In its 2010 report, Amnesty International corroborated these allegations:

Compelling evidence emerged that a number of detainees, both women and men, had been raped and otherwise tortured in detention, but instead of investigating allegations thoroughly, the authorities were quick to deny them and then harassed the victims and closed the offices of a committee collecting victims’ testimonies.

Below, watch Sarah Shourd, the American hiker who was detained in Iran, discuss the abuses she saw in the nation’s prison system:

    And still, most Americans live in a waking dreamworld, interested in the Hollywood gossip and Dancing with the Stars. I only hope enough people wake up soon and we boot the “leaders”, er, I mean Losers, out who have allowed this to continue whether by their silence that therefore condones behavior like this, or their actual implicit approval of these actions.

    the distributed condoms are supposed to be used on the innocent women that where make-up , jewelry, and non-traditional garments which are purchased on the street markets. the black marcket (cia operation hopefully) has infiltrated iran’s market with all 21st century technology and the govt. cant control it without resorting to the most vile of tactics as all govt’s do. axis of evil has been left to self gratificate bye any means its peoples suffer in the sight of our own media and we bomb libya instaed. they are sick some pups over there.

    No different than here.. They don’t hand out condoms either. Once you’re the bitch, you’re passed around the prison or gang raped. This is both male and female prisons. The big difference for the blind eye is because they are considered dissidents. Maybe we should do that here with jihadists! Put them in a cell with a very large and horny inmate and dress them in a pink tutu with no panties.. Better than waterboarding in my book.

      One reason those dingbat leaders in Iran allow this to happen is that in their version of Islam when a man is raped by another man, his own reward of heaven in the afterlife is lost forever and condems him to eternal damnation…that would be for many muslums, the loss of eternal paradise with their Allah, the ultimate desicration of their will to live and break down all that they are.

      This lie is already breeding in our prisons, protected by our Constitution as a “religion”-exercising that protection while breeding in ‘mosques’, and HAS ALREADY CREPT INTO OUR COURTS!

      Perhaps we need higher standards for what we protect as a “religion.” The socialist democrats are even trying to get NON-religion protected as a religion, which would, in effect, negate the Constitutional protection of ACTUAL RELIGION.
