Taraneh Mousavi was arrested near The Qaba Mosque by the Basij Militia. Her family did not hear from her until they got an anonymous call, saying she was in Karaj hospital with torn womb and rectum. The caller told the family thatTaraneh had sexual problems and had tried to kill herself by using the IV tube in the hospital.
When the family arrived in the hospital, the personnel said they did not have a patient in that name . But a nurse told them that she had seen a girl as they described who was delivered unconscious but was taken away a few hours later.
The news took over the Internet and today it was announced that the family have found Taraneh's burnt body in the fields near Qazvin. The family has been threatened and are extremely scared to talk. They did not announce when or where the funeral would be and asked Taraneh's friends not to call them anymore.
How was Taraneh arrested and why?
A friend of Taraneh who wishes to remain anonymous, says that on June 30th, Taraneh had a hairdressing class. she parked her car and after seeing the gatherings she called one of her friends and asks her to meet her to go to theQaba mosque before going to the class. She had a green long coat and a green shawl. While waiting for her friend, she was arrested by the Basij militia.
Her friend, who was approaching her, wintessed the arrest. Taraneh was taken away by a van. Several people who were arrested in the same area, call Taraneh'a family and inform them of Taraneh's arrest. Taraneh had given her phone number to some of them during detention.
An interview with one of Taraneh's friends:"Taraneh is a victim of rape by Iran's intelligence agencies".
Q: When did Taraneh's family find out about the body?
A: They went to Qazvin yesterday to take the burnt body. The family members have been threatened and are very scared. They do not want to give any details.
Q: was Taraneh arrested on June 30th ( Tir 7th), around Qaba Mosque?A: yes. She has a long green shawl and a green long coat on with high heels. She had beautiful green eyes and that's why I think the Basijis arrested her. she was not even present in the meetings or clashes and had told that to those who arrested her. She had parked her car very close to get to her hairdressing class nearby.
Q: was she taken to jail then?A: yes. She was taken to a secret prison with high walls in Pasdaran Avenue and they were all kept in a big room. They were harassing the girls more and her interrogation had taken longer than anyone.
Q: Was it there that she gave her phone number to the others?
A: Yes. When Taraneh Came back from that long interrogation, she had told the others that she was harassed ( that can mean rape) and had asked several young girls and boys to call her parents and a couple of her friends and tell them that she was arrested. She was constantly crying. She starts to worry more when everyone but her was allowed a phone call to their families.
Then all the detainees were taken out of that building. Some were taken to Evin and some to Noboniad police station. But everyone starts to worry when Taraneh was kept there.
Q: Do people call her family and friends?A: Yes. Some of the detainees who were released that night or later and had the number and had seen the way the girls were treated, call Taraneh's family and friends .
Q: Did the family follow up?
A: Yes. After a few days they found her car close to where she was working but no one heard from her until last week.
A: Yes. After a few days they found her car close to where she was working but no one heard from her until last week.
Q: When they receive an anonymous call?A: Yes. Someone who was perhaps one of Taraneh's kidnappers, called the family and said that "Taraneh had problems and was not arrested, but after her womb and rectum were torn, she wanted to commit suicide by throwing herself in front of a car and that's why she iwas in Emam Khomeini hospital in Karaj and in the hospital Taraneh tried to kill herself using the IV tubing."
The family went to the hospital immediately but she was not registered there. One of the nurses told them secretly that a girl with Taraneh's specifications was brought to the hospital a few days ago while unconscious and after a few hours was taken away.
That's why we think that she was raped repeatedly and was taken to the hospital in her last moments.
Q: How much have Taraneh's family followed up?
A: This is our main concern. Taraneh's family are very religious . They are both over 60 years old. Taraneh was their only child after many years of treatment and prayers. They loved her very much. But after what happened, they have been very scared and do not even answer our calls. we are Taraneh's friends and want to know where her body will be buried.
Q: Have you heard about the funeral?A: No. yesterday the family was told that a body with Taraneh's specifications has been found in the fields betweenKaraj and Qazvin. But her family have been seriously threatened not to say anything about their daughter's arrest.
Q: Now that the blogs and the media know about it, do you think the truth will be revealed?
A: I don't want Taraneh's voice to be muted. Or our voice. They took our Friend, raped her savagely for days and then burnt her body and threw it in the fields.
When Taraneh sang a song, I would remember her beautiful voice for days. But since yesterday all I hear is her screaming. He agony ended after two weeks but we will carry it for all our lives. She was our Taraneh.
