while walking past a protest at a hospital near his parents’ home, Arash saw a plain-clothes security official harassing an older woman doctor. He intervened to tell the man that the doctor was “old enough to be your mother”, and found himself surrounded by other security officials.

He said he was put into a van along with a group of medics. “The guy stopped hitting her and started hitting me,” he said. “I saw around 25 medics altogether in the van. They were beating them. They had very black eyes, broken hands. They were using Tasers on them.”

They were taken to a now notorious building in a secure area of the city that is being used as a holding point for thousands of detainees. Arash was treated relatively lightly — other detainees were beaten until their faces were unrecognisable, he said.
