An Iranian news agency is reporting that a young man died from abuse by Iranian prison authorities in the wake of the post-election unrest. The Iranian government had originally claimed twenty-five-year-old Mohsen Ruholamini had died from meningitis. Last month, a state forensic doctor ruled out meningitis as the cause of Ruhalamini’s death. The doctor is quoted as saying the man died of “physical stress, the effects of being held in bad conditions, multiple blows and severe injuries to the body.”
