Mehdi Karrubi: Ahmadinejad statements in interview with PBS's Charlie Rose "falsified"
Mehdi Karubi, reformist leader who first publicly disclosed allegations of rape in Iranian prisons, calls Ahmadinejad statements on an interview with Charlie Rose of PBS "falsified." Karrubi, who is believed to be on government's watch list, in a letter published by his son in Saham News, asserts that he has received substantial evidence on rape allegations of political prisoners. He indicates that his offices and publication were shut down shortly after he disclosed these allegations in public. He urges the Head of Iranian State-run TV to give him a short time on air so he can share some of the evidence with Iranian people so they can judge for themselves.
Today, Iranian's Judiciary officials again brought up possibility of indicting Karrubi with "provoking sentiments against government."//
