Dutch government calls for investigation of Bahrami torture allegations Dutch Foreign Minster Uri Rosenthal assured his parliament yesterday that he will pursue every channel to investigate allegations of torture in the case of Zahra Bahrami, adding that he will do all he can to have Bahrami's remains returned to her family in the Netherlands. The Dutch government has already frozen all contact with the Islamic Republic after the 45-year-old Iranian-Dutch citizen was hanged for drug charges, after initially being arrested for security reasons. Several opposition websites have alleged that Bahrami's official execution on January 29 was rushed because she had actually died during torture, some time after the last visit from her daughter on January 27. Bahrami's daughter says she did not see any evidence of torture during that last visit. Rosenthal criticized the lack of transparency in the legal proceedings against Bahrami. He said Dutch officials were never informed of Bahrami's trials, and their embassy representatives and lawyers were barred from the legal proceedings. In response to Western outrage over Bahrami's execution, an Iranian ambassador to the Hague said Europeans should be thankful that Iran is helping to fight their drug problem. source: Radio Zamaneh   شما این خبرنامه را به این دلیل دریافت می کنید که ایمیل شما پس از تایید وارد لیست دریافت کنندگان شده است. برای لغو عضویت از این خبرنامه به این لینک مراجعه کنید یا به tehranreview-unsubscribe@sabznameh.com ایمیل بزنید. با فرستادن این خبرنامه به دوستان خود آنها را تشویق کنید که عضو این خبرنامه شوند. برای عضویت در این خبرنامه کافی است که به tehranreview@sabznameh.com ایمیل بزنید. برای دریافت لیست کامل خبرنامه های سبزنامه به help@sabznameh.com ایمیل بزنید.
