#1 Didn't Iran just deny that it has any political prisoners? This, despite worldwide condemnation over Iran having some 30,000 of them. Let's not overlook reports of mass executions either.

Hearing Iran decry torture is like listening to a soccer hooligan denounce getting drunk at a match.

#5 Two possibilies here:

1.execute prisoners instead of torturing them

2.declare that under Islamic law torture of a guilty person isn't really torture
