Batebi was free for a long time and working in plain sight and living in full sight of the Mullahs, so the torture etc., is highly exaggerated and part of the background fabricated for him.
Yes, he suffered torture for a while but was let go fairly quickly (relatively speaking) and went back to leading a normal life and earning a living in advertising sales.
Last year he was rearrested and so was his wife to bring him into play and prepae him for us. Enough said.
See FARS’ posts on this ‘prisoner’
Thanks, I’ve been quite aware of his situation & condition including the arrest of his wife last year.
