The State Department on Thursday condemned Iran over its mistreatment of political prisoners, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
"Iran’s harsh treatment of political prisoners is meant to intimidate people and suppress dissent, and it simply underscores just how much Iran’s leadership fears its own people," Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel told a daily press briefing.
Patel's comment came in reaction to reports of Iranian authorities torturing popular hip-hop artist Toomaj Salehi and his need for urgent medical attention.
"The Iranian regime’s treatment of Toomaj would unfortunately be only the latest in a long line of human rights abuses perpetrated by the regime" Patel added.
He concluded: "We call on Iran’s leadership to release Toomaj now, release all political prisoners now, and provide Mr. Salehi with the needed medical attention."
