Taraneh's fate over at Iranian Leftists: (hat tip Diane)
Taraneh M. is a 28 year old trainee beautician who was arrested more than two weeks ago by security forces on the fringe of the rally on 7th tir (28th june).
Reports indicate that her family were told that she was in danger due to damage to her anus and womb.
According to reports, this young woman was arrested by plain clothes security forces at 6 pm after participating in the 7th tir ceremony at Ghoba mosque. While after interrogation all other detainees were brought to Nobonyad police station by basij and intelligence agents, the plain clothes agents kept Taraneh in a building near Hosseinie Ershad.
According to witnesses, while most of the participants in the ceremony were dressed in normal clothes and trainers, Taraneh was wearing chic clothes and high-heeled shoes, and caught the interrogators’ attention because of her hairstyle, make-up and beauty.
When Taraneh’s family, who live in Jeyhoun Street in West Tehran, went to look for her at Nobonyad police station, the officers at the station said they didn’t know anything about her. But the other detainees told the family that Taraneh was in custody with the Basijis and hadn’t been turned over to the police station. This made the family even more worried.
The probability the she had been gang raped increased when a couple of days later an unidentified person telephoned the family and said that after an “accident” Taraneh had been admitted to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Karaj because of tears in her womb and anus.
After several days of searching, her family at last found Taraneh’s car, which had been parked near Ghoba mosque, and they went to inquire at Imam Khomeini hospital in Karaj. One of the nurses confirmed that an unconscious girl matching Taraneh’s description had been brought in by plain clothes forces and had been removed again after a couple of hours. This girl’s particulars hadn’t been entered in the hospital records.
This increases the suspicion that Taraneh M. may have been raped by the Basijis and security forces and may even have died. But her family won’t yet accept this and hope that if they follow the advice of the police, i.e. to keep quiet, they will be able to trace their daughter

AND SHAME on the Christian Science Monitor for towing the LIES of the Mullahs by describing these innocent Iranians as "Sunni rebels". Christian Science Monitor has ALWAYS been a little TOO FRIENDLY to the Islamic Republic and it has turned out to be one of the most useful idiot tools of that filthy regime. SHAME on them.
Yes, I did not run the stories the media was running - and the mullahs' Sunni lies. Shame on the world press. Savages.
100's of dead bodies are piled up in south Tehran cold stoamilies wander around, looking or their loved ones,from hospital to prison, prison to courts, courts to police stations & so on. No one gives them answers or those contacted are given no details & only told to show up somewhere; upon arrival they are told their loved one is dead & to sign release papers stating that the regime is not responsible for the death. Then the bodies are released to the families. The mother of one of those who lost his life explains that finally after days of searching officials took her to the cold storage that is normally used for storing dairy and fruits, and where the bodies are now being kept & told her to look through a photo album of hundreds of photos of bodies in order to pick out her son. She explains that though she did not find her son, that seeing those hundreds of dead bodies shoved on top of each other made her so ill that she passed out & when she regained consciousness, she was outside the cold storage, in the car.

Muttaqi later gave a press conference, surrounded by the five, complaining that the United States had detained them "illegally."
