During those months, he was brutally tortured and forced to confess that he had connections with Mujahedin Khalgh so that security forces would be able to argue that there was a connection between Setad 88 - a group which he was a member of - and Mujahedin. At first, they were suggesting Moharebeh (War against God/religion/Islamic Regime) accusations. </coverage-outsourcing>
