Sunni cleric tortured in Iran prison

 An Iranian Sunni cleric has sent out a letter from prison in Zahedan, south-eastern Iran, reporting tortures inflicted on him.

Molavi Noureddin Kashani has been imprisoned in Zahedan Prison for over 30 months, during which time he has been brutally tortured both physically and psychologically.

He was arrested on August 7, 2013 by the Iranian regime's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) on his way back to his home from a morning prayer's sermon.

It is believed that the regime has not actually prosecuted him for specific charges, and his case has been held in a state of limbo. One report said he has been unofficially accused of killing agents of the regime's suppressive state security forces (police).
