Amnesty International:

Amnesty International calls on Iranian authorities to immediately release 16-year-old Mahmoud Baluchi Razi. He has been arbitrarily detained since 7 December and subjected to torture and other ill-treatment to force his father to surrender to the authorities. 

Ministry of Intelligence agents arrested Mahmoud Baluchi Razi from his school in Nikshahr County, Sistan and Baluchestan province. For several days, the authorities subjected him to enforced disappearance by refusing to disclose his fate and whereabouts to his family. 

Researchers  @amnesty   learned that interrogators beat Mahmoud Baluchi Razi and forced him to phone his family and tell them that his father must surrender himself to secure his son’s release. 

Days later, agents brought Mahmoud Baluchi Razi before a prosecutor who ordered him to sign documents that he could not read or understand.

Mahmoud Baluchi Razi is denied access to a lawyer and held in a youth detention facility in Kerman province, around 800 km from his family. Pending release, he must be protected from further torture and other ill-treatment and given access to his family and lawyer.
