UA 229/06 Health concern / Torture
Fear for safety

IRAN Ali Khodabakhshi (also known as Elyaz Yekanli) (m), activist, aged about 31

Ali Khodabakhshi (also known as Elyaz Yekanli) is a prominent activist for the cultural, social and political rights of the Azeri Turkish minority in Iran (who also refer to themselves as Iranian Azerbaijanis). He has been detained without charge since his arrest on 8 June. He has been tortured in detention in order to extract a ‘confession.’ He may be detained on account of his peaceful activities on behalf of the rights of the Azeri Turkish minority, in which case Amnesty International would consider him a prisoner of conscience. The Ministry of Intelligence has allegedly been attempting to intimidate Ali Khodabakhshi’s family through phone calls and by visiting their house. There are concerns for their safety.

Ali Khodabakhshi was reportedly subjected to physical and psychological torture while detained in Tabriz Prison. He was badly beaten, and was given electric shocks. He was apparently tortured until he made a forced confession.
