Arbitrary killing
Young man beaten to death by regime force on Tehran Street
A young man identified as 'Amir-Mehdi Hamzeh-Louie' was beaten to death by plainclothes agents.
These forces who had a van and a 206 Peju automobile arrested this young man along with two of his friends near the Qeitarieh Park in Tehran and detained them in the van.
One of the young men could use his cell phone to call his father and inform him of his arrest.
These young men also asked their captors who had introduced themselves as police forces, to see their ID which led to agents' severe response. "These kids have gotten so cheeky that they ask for our ID!" the detainers said, and violently beat the young men to the extent that Amir-Mehdi suddenly became unconscious as a result of the beatings by the men who were equipped with walkie talkie and other police equipment.
The agents became agitated and threw these three boys out of the van to quickly leave the scene. They were so nervous that they ran over Amir-Mehdi's leg, while he was lying unconscious on the ground. Amir-Mehdi passed away on the way to the Shohada Hospital. (Nurooz Website – Oct. 2, 2009)
