According to this document, they have attained a secret document related to the file of political prisoners that shows Abdolghaffar Naqshbandi, son of a Sunni scholar cleric called Fathi Mohammad Naqshbandi, has been severely tortured by agents of the intelligence ministry; specifically he has been hit by 480 lashes called “punishing lashes special to electric shock”. This torture had been ordered by Zahedan’s Prosecutor’s Office.

The document also shows that the warden and his deputy by the names of Abedini and Liaqati have signed this document that states 480 lashes have been delivered.
