Iran protests: Activist Narges Mohammadi details 'abuse' of detained women- PublishedA leading human rights activist in Iran has written from prison to give the BBC details of how women detained in recent anti-government protests are being sexually and physically abused.More than 500 protesters, including 69 children, have been killed, while thousands of others have been arrested, human rights activists say.She says that one well-known activist had her hands and legs tied to a hook above her head in the vehicle taking her to prison - and was then sexually assaulted by security officers.But Iran also continues to heavily repress domestic reporting of the protests, with one recent report suggesting it was now the third largest jailer of journalists in the world.Ms Mohammadi says that even though reporting abuse may lead to intimidation of the families of women in detention, she believes it's necessary to expose what's happening - in order to try to put a stop to it."
