Report: Iranian Scientist Tortured After Return
(New York Times) William Yong - Iranian nuclear scientist Shahram Amiri, who said he had been abducted by the CIA, has been imprisoned and tortured since his return to Iran in July, an opposition Web site reported Monday. Amiri spent the past two months in solitary confinement in a military prison and was hospitalized at least once because of physical and psychological pressure, according to the report on IranBriefing.net. American officials said Amiri was a CIA informer who voluntarily defected to the U.S. in 2009.
