Quote of the Day.\u00a0 Iran\u2019s judiciary chief Ebrahim Raisi said it was \u201cstrictly forbidden to attack the accused, even if they are thugs.\u201d\u00a0 See \u201cIran: Judicial authority bans \u2018torture\u2019,”<\/a> Al Jazeera, October 15, 2020.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cIran\u2019s judicial authority on Thursday issued an order banning torture, the use of \u201cforced confessions\u201d, solitary confinement, illegal police detentions, and other violations of defendants\u2019 rights. The \u201cdocument on judicial security\u201d was signed by Iran\u2019s judiciary chief Ebrahim Raisi and released by Mizan Online, the authority\u2019s news agency. It also stressed the \u201ctransparency\u201d of the judicial process, including the right to freely choose a lawyer and \u201cthe principle of the presumption of innocence\u201d. It also guaranteed \u201cconsular access\u201d for foreign nationals. Iran is regularly accused by the United Nations, several Western countries, rights organisations and Iranian lawyers of flouting the principles that Raisi said he wants to see respected. The publication of the charter comes a week after controversy was sparked by videos posted on social media showing police officers beating detainees in pick-up trucks in the middle of a street. In the videos, apparently filmed in Tehran, the detainees are also made to apologise for the \u201cmistakes\u201d they say they have made.\u201d<\/p>\n
