Iran's Military Police

Tehran: A married woman last week accused some members of Iranian military police of participation in a group raping of her on November 4, 2009. Iran's Parliament today is said to secretly investigate this claim. A Human Rights Watch report last week also documented at least 3 cases of rape against political dissidents while in custody of prison officials.

In the past, Iran's Parliament has been reluctant or unable to investigate criminal or financial matters related to the increasingly powerful Military Police and Revolutionary Guard Corp (RGC).
