There's absolutely no question of that. We have documented that going back decades and decades, in fact, going way back to the time of the Shah. Evin Prison has always been notorious as a place of rampant torture. As Mohamed reminded us, it has previously claimed a Canadian victim, Zahra Kazemi, who died after rape and torture in 2003. Again, in the last couple of months, notoriously so, Dr. Emami's case is obviously a very tragic instance. His is the third case in just six weeks now of prisoners held at Evin who suddenly and mysteriously committed suicide, apparently, but in circumstances where the government refuses to allow any investigation or independent autopsy.
