Son of Iran candidate ally died after beating:

And this coming from the country that calls The U.S. the great Satan , and says that we commit human rights atrocities !

TEHRAN (Reuters) - The son of an adviser to a defeated Iranian presidential candidate died after being beaten in jail, a semi-official news agency reported on Monday, citing a report from the coroner's office.

A reformist website last month said the son of Abdolhossein Ruholamini, who advised conservative Mohsen Rezaie in the disputed June presidential election, was killed in a Tehran prison after being detained in post-vote unrest.

Officials have said Mohsen Ruholamini died of meningitis. He was held in Tehran's Kahrizak jail, where many opposition protesters arrested after the disputed election were taken.

The Mehr news agency, citing an informed source, said the coroner's office, had submitted a report on the case to the legal authorities.

"According to that report, the main causes of his death were physical stress, frequent beatings and hitting a solid object on his head," Mehr quoted its source as saying, adding he died while being transferred to a hospital.

Mehr did not give further detail and there was no immediate comment from the authorities.
