A doctor employed at Bagheeyehollah Hospital in Tehran
(connected with the revolutionary guards) where Zahra
Kazemi, deceased Iranian/Canadian photojournalist was
transfered before dying, left Iran and for the first
time, in an interview with a German publication divulged
that the regime's interogators and goons had brutally
gang-raped the photojournalist while she was under qustioning
and torture.
The German weekly, Die Zeit [in the Thursday, March 31st
issue] states that Kazemi was delivered to the hospital
directly after undergoing severe torture in prison;
she died on July 11th, 2003. Dr. Shahram Azam, who
examined Kazemi at the hospital was able to provide a
firsthand account. Fifty four year old Kazemi was in a
coma when delivered to the hospital in the early hours
of June 27th 2003; her body was covered with contusions
and as such, she was transfered to the emergency room of
Bagheeyehollah Hospital.
Dr. Azam reports that it was quite clear that she
had been severely tortured and brutally gang-raped.
He went on to say that the regime's authorities (the
security forces and the judiciary) continue to play
the blame game and therefore at this juncture felt
that there was nothing left for him to do but to
leave Iran and find a way to inform the world of the
regime's barbarous nature and the brutality
perpatrated on the Iran people, on a daily
basis, all over Iran for 26 years now.
Dr. Azam left Iran with his wife and daughter and
has moved Canada on assylum for the time being.
