Before political prisoner Navid Afkari was executed last September, Shahin sent an audio file from prison detailing the torture of the wrestling champion and asking the people of Iran to support Navid. Below is the transcript of parts of the audio file. &quot;Hello. I am Seyed Shahin Naseri. I have an MBA. I was arrested on September 17, 2018 on a completely false charge and for bogus reasons in Qazvin (NW Iran) and I was brought to the Shiraz Intelligence Police Station (SW Iran) on September 26, 2018. Because I have been subjected to the most brutal tortures many times, and while shame modesty and the fact that I\u2019m married will not allow me to get into the details, I feel that I have a duty as a human being to inform judicial officials about the crimes that I saw being committed with my own eyes against Navid Afkari. I saw two plainclothes agents using vulgar language and profanities while violently beating Navid. They were brutally hitting Navid on his head and body with an iron bar and batons. I clearly heard them say \u201cwhatever we say is the truth\u201d and \u201cwill you write down what we say or not\u201d. And Navid begged them to stop and said he had done nothing wrong. He repeatedly brought his cuffed hands up over his head to block the iron bar. One of the agents, whom I later found out was Lieutenant Abbasi, hit Navid on the hand so hard that Navid cried out and fainted. A few hours after I returned to my cell, they brought Navid, and his hand was in very bad shape. He was writhing in pain begging them to take him to the infirmary. But he was not taken to the infirmary and was taken for more torture. The interrogator cut me off and told me with a very bad and insulting tone while using profanities that \u201cYou\u2019re interfering in a security case. I\u2019ll make you miserable. I\u2019ll force this agent to file a complaint against you for slander and defamation, and I\u2019ll make you regret it.\u201d\u2026\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Shahin Naseri, a prisoner in the Greater Tehran Prison, died under suspicious circumstances in the notorious prison on September 21.
