  • <coverage-outsourcing id='26655'> The Intelligence Ministry offices in Ahvaz called Alboghobeish family to say Benyamin had died in the detention house. According to the Borumand foundation, Alboghobeish family say that Benyamin’s death was due to ‘torture’. The news sources close to the government or authorities showed no reaction to his death. The Amnesty International issued a statement, calling the death suspicious and asked the Iranian government to start impartial investigations. A source close to him told Kayhan London: “We have received reports from inside the detention house that confirm this young man was tortured on a daily basis. We have thus concluded that he died under torture although the authorities have not declared a reason for the death” </coverage-outsourcing>
