Alinea 41 Raad van State 28 januari 2016

Een alinea uit Raad van State 28 januari 2016, ECLI:NL:RVS:2016:270.

Maître Nuri Albala in his report on his mission to Iran in Januari/February 1972 on behalf of the International Association of Democratic Lawyers, describes an exchange between a defendant, Massoud Ahmadzadeh, and the prosecutor in which Ahmadzadeh stated that his confession had been obtained by torture. During the course of the trial Ahmadzadeh, thinking that Maître Albala was a foreign journalist, suddenly pulled off his sweater and showed the lawyer appalling burns on his stomach and back which appeared to be several months old. During a subsequent conversation with another defendant, Nasser Sadegh, Maître Albala was told that Massoud Ahmadzadeh and other defendants had been burned by being placed on a table which was then heated to white heat, and that one of those so treated, Badizadeghan, had since then been paralysed in the lower limbs and could move only by crawling forward using his upper arms. Nasser Sadegh also said that he saw one prisoner, Behruz Tehrani, die near him in the torture room.
