The Iranian regime agents continue to escalate pressure on
dissident cleric Mr. Kazemeini-Boroujerdi. Boroujerdi, who has spent the last
seven years in prison, has now begun receiving daily blatant threats against
his life and has been told that he will be silenced by any means
necessary.
Based on received reports, on Tuesday, July 15th, Jafar Ghadiani,
the notorious prosecutor in the special clerical tribunal, personally paid Mr.
Boroujerdi a visit and ordered him to keep quiet and make peace with the regime
authority. Mr. Boroujerdi categorically rejected the demand; Ghadiani is
reported to have replied: “We can kill you anytime we want and no one will be
the wiser.”
It is worth noting that on the previous
Monday, July 8th, Mr. Boroujerdi endured another round of harsh interrogationswhich
lasted well into Tuesday morning. During that session, other than the
psychological pressure, he was also severely tortured, beaten and the torturer
agents involved had demanded that he pen a letter of repentance.
Mr. Boroujerdi who has remained in prison since 2006, without the
possibility of medical furlough, now suffers from various ailments which worsen
as a result of the regular torture and the prohibition on all medical treatment
and prescribed medication. He has developed malnutrition, diabetes, kidney
stone, heart disease, resulting in respiratory disorder and the intense
swelling of the legs, knees a joints.
