Iran giving out condoms for criminals to rape us, say jailed activists

Smuggled letters allege authorities are using mass rape as a weapon inside Iran's most notorious prisons.

Prison guards in Iran are giving condoms to criminals and encouraging them to systematically rape young opposition activists locked up with them...authorities are intentionally facilitating mass rape and using it as a form of punishment.

Mehdi Mahmoudian, an outspoken member of Iran's Participation Front, a reformist political party, is among those prisoners who have succeeded in smuggling out letters revealing the extent of rape inside some of the most notorious prisons.

...

one young prisoner was raped seven times in a single night. "In [Rajaeeshahr] prison, those who have pretty faces and are unable to defend themselves or cannot afford to bribe others are forcibly taken to different cells each night [to be raped]," he writes.

"The situation is such that those exposed to rape even have an owner and that owner makes money by renting him out to others and after a while selling him to someone else."

apparently the typical Muslim male in that part of the world has more screwed-up sexual baggage than a team of therapists could untangle in a lifetime.

Impossible. Ahmadinejad said there were no homosexuals in Iran.

Isn't that how they do it here?

Islam has been an insane rape and murder cult since Mad Mo crawled out of the bat cave and barked at the moon.

It’s been well-known that Iranian guards have used rape as a punishment and humiliation tool. It seems a bit bizarre that they’d care whether the inmates use condoms when raping another prisoner. Iranian prisons aren’t exactly known for caring about the well-being of their inmates.

Nuke all Moslims - and do it now!

ISLAM DELENDA EST - because of what Islam is and what Moslims do.

Islam has rules governing every aspect of life. One must be that homosexual rape is permitted when a goat or camel is unavailable.

Reminds me that Mr. Edwards faces a similar future.

I wonder if the prevention of AIDS is an issue here.

From what I have read, you are right. It happens in our prisons as well...

“Isn’t that how they do it here?”

BIG difference.
1)
The prisons here may not be a picnic, but at least the people inside have had a trial and been convicted of actually committing a crime that warrants being inprisoned.
This article is talking about young opposition protesters, or even bystanders who were just picked up in a crowd who are languishing in prison before they may even have a trial, which in Iran is meaningless anyway.
2)
The crimes perpetrated against these protesters are State sanctioned - It’s all part of the mental & physical beat-down to discourage repeat protesting and to discourage others from speaking out.

It would have the effect of making me kill a very large number of people.

You might think that. But you’d be missing the whole picture of all the other daily mental and physical abuse, in prison and out.
It’s obviously effective, so the regime continues to use it.
