Excerpts from a letter Saeed wrote from prison in his first year of arrest. This letter recounts some of the torture he endured. My name is Saeed Malekpour. I was arrested on October 4, 2008 in Tehran by plainclothes agents who did not present an arrest warrant or identification. My arrest resembled an abduction. I was handcuffed, blindfolded and placed in the back of a Sedan. A heavy-set agent leaned his weight on me by positioning his elbow on my neck, and forcing my head down during the car ride. When we arrived to an undisclosed location they called “the Technical Office”, a few agents severely beat and verbally abused me. While I was handcuffed and blindfolded, they forced me to sign a few sheets of paper that I was unable to see or read.
