The families of arrested students Majid Tavakoli, Ahamd Ghasaban and Ehsan Mansouri have written letters to the head of the Judiciary, Ayatollah Shahroudi. Excuse me, how is the Islamic Republic different from the Shah's SAVAK again? I'm not sure I see the differences here.

3. Vulgar language
4. Threats to harm or kill family members
5. Threats to expell family members from their jobs, threats to order physical punishment such as 80 lashes.

1. Extreme beatings during interrogations to result in loss of consciousness of our children and sending them to the infirmary of 209 section of jail.
2. Beatings to the legs, chest, back and beatings given by punching and kicking the head, face and legs to point where the students are thrown off the interrogation chair and slam into walls.
3. Beating on the handcuffs to the point of bruising and swelling on wrists.

5. Keeping in solitary confinement without any blankets or anything else.
