Ramin's error was a simple mistake; he meant to say after
the revolution but incorrectly gave 1977 as the year of the
revolution. His point was *post-revolution* atrocities
committed against the Baha'ies in Iran.

>Usually atrocities of this magnitude if not reported in the media, are

Of course crimes and atrocities of this magnitute should be
reported by the media. But when the media is under control of
the very the same people who commit, advocate, or facilitate the
background for such crimes, the chances of getting an official,
detailed account is nill.

No one should expect the Khomeini regime's media to report or
cover the crimes committed by its hoodlums or pasdar thugs.

The same holds for other hair-raising crimes of the retrogressive
Khomeini regime such as rape-before-execution of virgin girls
in Iran. This inhuman crime of the Khomeini regime is well
known in Iran. It was never reported in the Khomeini regime's
press. But many ex-prisoners who escaped from regime's dungeons
had either witnessed it or had learned about it while in the
prison. Mothers' of the victims, who learned the story from their
daugther before they were executed, have said of these crimes.

Unfortunately all vitims have been executed otherwise they could
describe their experience and give the exact dates to satisfy
Khomeini-follwers.

Here is part of a shocking confession of a former special
intelligence agent of the Khomeini regime's Guard Corps. He
describes the notorious torture practices in the regime's jails
including rape-before-execution: [Reference to his book is given
below]

"Once the guards wanted to rape a woman, first they transferred
her to a cell. From there, they took her to a torture room,
gave her a knock-out shot and then raped her.

Or they tortured the woman so much that she passed out and then
rape was carried out. When they wanted to torture a girl or a woman,
they completely undressed her. In this way, they felt more comfortable

One day, they brought a girl who was very pretty. Two of cellblock's
guards went to her at night and told her, `Stick out your arm. We
want to give you an injection and draw some blood for a test.'
Then they gave her a knock-out shot and raped her. This act is
usually done when the victim is unconscious." ...

"In another case, they had arrested a mother and daughter. The first
night, a few torturers told them: 'You must get shots because
whoever is brought to these prisons could have a contagious
disease which you could catch.' They agreed to be injected with 
what were actually knock-out shots. The mother and daughter were
raped. Once that came to, they found out what had happened to
them and both committed suicide." ...

"Virgin prisoners must be raped before execution. What they did was
they wrote down names of the Guards who were on the execution team
as well as those of the prison officials. Then the criminal mullahs
do the drawing. At night, when the girl is supposed to be raped, she
is injected with a knock-out shot. Then the criminal whose name
was picked in the drawing carries out his crime. The next day, the
criminal politico-ideological mullah at the prison would write a
[marriage] certificate for them. Then they took the certificate and
a box of sweets to the executed girl's family."...  [pp 38-40]

The former intelligence agent is Sarmast Akhlagh-Tabandeh. He served
in Shiraz for 11 years. His book is called: "The Shocking Confessions
of One of Intelligence Officers of the Guards Corps." Many of the
horrific crimes committed in Khomeini's jails are described in this
book. The author gives the exact location (and maps) of many secret
prisons where these crimes took place.
