One recent case of “confession” under torture is that of Navid Afkari.
"It was proven that I was tortured to confess... not one piece of evidence to prove I was guilty... I realized they just wanted a neck to throw their noose around."

There should be no tolerance for #Iran's human rights violations. This genocidal regime gunned down & killed over 1,500 protesters.
The int'l community should unite in adopting a firm policy & ending all appeasement vis-a-vis Tehran.
And no, this does not mean another war.
