(Iran International) An Iranian dissident man was gang-raped in Germany by four men who are believed to be Islamic Republic loyalists, in an attack that has shocked the town of Iserlohn in North Rhine-Westphalia, according to German media reports.
The incident, which occurred on Saturday night at an abandoned brewery site, is being investigated as a politically motivated crime with deep ties to Tehran’s repressive government, according to a report by Der Spiegel.
Witnesses, alarmed by the victim’s screams, alerted the authorities, who responded quickly. IKZ reports that emergency services found the victim tied up and severely abused. He was immediately rushed to a hospital, but the full extent of his injuries has not been disclosed.
