AHMED BATEBI HAS ESCAPED TO THE UNITED STATES--Jul 6th, 2008 - 00:39:45

AHMED BATEBI HAS ESCAPED TO THE UNITED STATES--
The brave Iranian student activist who was sentenced to death and who was severely tortured for years in the notorious Evin Prison in Iran has arrived safely in the United States!

During a break from prison, Batebi fled Iran traveling through Iraq and Austria and finally arriving in Washington DC.

Ahmed Batebi is the Iranian student who gained international fame for his appearance on the cover of The Economist magazine holding up a bloodied shirt claiming to belong to a fellow student beaten by the Basij paramilitaries. The photo, which has been called 'an icon for Iran's student reform movement,' was taken during the Iranian Student Protests in July 1999 in Tehran. Human Rights activist Shirin Ebadi, reports that the shirt belonged to Ezzat Ebrahim-Nejad, a student who was shot and killed reportedly by a plainclothes police or vigilante.

Ahmed Batebi was one of four people who received a death sentence in a closed-door trial by a Revolutionary Court on charges relating to 'creating street unrest' and 'agitating people to create unrest,' and 'endangering national security' following the demonstrations. Batebi, in an open letter addressed to the judiciary, wrote that he had been beaten in his 'testicles, legs, and abdominal area- -Wiki.

Ahmad Batebi is now in Washington D.C. and had a tv appearance on VOA Persian a few days ago in which he spoke of the horrific torture he endured at the hands of his interrogators for 9 years!!!

Iranian blogger Aryamehr has more on Batebi's escape to America where he describes more of Batebi's horrible torture.

This is a MAJOR BLOW to the brutal Iranian Regime!
