Javad Rouhi: Iranian protester dies in jail after avoiding death sentence
BBC NewsJUL 2023
Iranian authorities are conducting a thorough investigation to understand what caused Rouhi's death, with an investigator visiting the prison to review cameras and interrogate people present at the scene. Once the final report of the Forensic Medicine Department and this additional investigation are concluded, the results will be announced.
It was widely foretold that Rouhi would become another victim of the Tehran regime as he had already been subjected to torture shortly after his arrest and sentenced to capital punishment in a bogus trial that was later overturned. Only an international probe can reveal what exactly happened to him.
