Allegations transmitted
following an investigation the mosque guards had
been fired, though the perpetrator had not been
investigated as he was a prominent member of
SCIRI. A complaint, including medical reports,
were sent to the Ministry of Human Rights,

result of the torture, Mohammad continues to
suffer from severe depression and panic attacks,
a speech impediment stemming from the injuries
to his neck, and continuing pain in his leg, and
kidneys.

and bones in his legs and hands were broken.
