Iran MP says rape of some vote detainees proven (Reuters)

TEHRAN (Reuters) –
The rape of some Iranian reformers jailed after the presidential vote has been proven to a parliamentary committee, a lawmaker who asked to remain anonymous was quoted as saying on a website on Thursday.

"Raping of some (vote) detainees through baton and soda bottle has been proven to us," the Parlemantnews website quoted the member of the investigative committee as saying.

Iran's moderate defeated presidential candidate Mehdi Karoubi had raised allegations that some of those detained after the disputed vote were raped.
