U.S. Pastor Freed by Iran Says He Was Tortured
(Reuters) Emily Stephenson - Saeed Abedini, a Christian pastor who was freed in a prisoner swap with Iran, told Fox News on Monday that he was tortured and left in solitary confinement for refusing to sign a false confession. Abedini said that while in Tehran's Evin prison he was beaten by interrogators, left with an al-Qaeda prisoner who tried to kill him, and watched people screaming and crying while taken to be hanged.
