http://web.peykeiran.com/net_iran/irnewsbody.aspx?ID=9827 According to a published statement from the United Student Front (Jebhe Motahed e Daneshjooyee), the regime is preparing a case against Ahmad Batebi, and they have severely beaten and tortured a friend of Ahmad Batebi's by the name of Arjhang Davoodi.
The statement reads, " Mr. Arjhand Davoodi who is a friend of Ahamd Batebi, has been severely beaten during torture and may have gone blind in his left eye as a result. Arjhang Davoodi who was arrested alongside Ahmad Batebi is currently in solitary confinement inside of Evin prison where he is under severe physical and psychological pressure.
The special investigators assigned to this case have sworn to get confessions from both Arjhang Davoodi and Ahmad Batebi before they are done. Batebi who is currently very ill in Evin prison has requested medical care, but he has been told that he will not receive any medical care unless he cooperates, and if he dies they will blame it on his illness. Batebi is accused of membership in illegal groups, and he has accepted this charge in a letter written from inside Evin prison. The officials are trying to get Batebi and Davoodi to sign other false statements by threatening and pressuring them.
Note: Evin prison is Iran's most notorious political prison."
