Iranian protesters sentenced to death were tortured, says Amnesty report

Two teenagers and 31-year-old man were subjected to torture including rape and beatings and denied fair trial, says group

The alleged torture of three young Iranian men facing the death penalty has been detailed in a report by Amnesty International that raises deep concerns about the country's judicial system.

One of the men, Mehdi Mohammadifard, was raped by prison guards and severely beaten, the rights group said. Amnesty said it had learned that Mohammadifard suffered anal injuries and rectal bleeding that required treatment in a hospital outside the prison where he was being held.
