Iranian wrestler 'tortured, framed' in Japan
Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:18:51 GMT
An Iranian wrestler-turned-businessman who moved to Japan in mid 1990s says
he was a victim of human rights abuse there and is keen on pursuing his case.
In an interview with Press TV, Behruz Lotfi-Nasab said he was arrested, tortured
and tried on false charges after unwittingly getting involved with Japanese mafia
while acting as translator to Iranian friends.
While trying to help his friends get back their money out of a bad investment,
he claims he is tangled in a police arrest of two Yakuza mafia members at Royal
Hotel in Ikebukuro, a commercial district in Tokyo's Toshima ward.
The two Yakuzas think Lotfi-Nasab is behind the police raid and pledge revenge.
Later he is attacked by gangsters and while escaping arrives at a police cordon.
The officers demand his surrender, saying they had found contraband at his
apartment, he said.
“The day after my arrest on September 27, 1995, Japanese newspapers said an
Iranian wrestling champion has been detained after police found illegal drugs
at his residence,” Lofti-Nasab said.
He stressed that the address mentioned in the official copy of the charges
against him does not match that of his house, which was documented on his
alien registration card that authorities could easily have checked.

What follows is nothing short of a tragic story of a framed man.
Two days after his arrest, Lofti-Nasab has a visitor who claims to be his
court-appointed lawyer, before he had had enough time to consider hiring
an attorney.
Following the lawyer's appearance, he is banned from having any more
visitors and remains isolated until the day of his trial, he claimed.
“They could not find any incriminating evidence against me and I just
admitted to not having a [valid] visa,” Lofti-Nasab said.
“The lawyer advised me to confess to all the charges read by the prosecution
in front of a judge so he could ask for more time, but I denied them as they
were all false… From the first day of my arrest I was held in solitary
confinement.”
Lotfi-Nasab claims the court ruling against him had cut him a nine-year
prison sentence, but he was held for an additional two years.
“They put pills in my food so that I was dizzy during the court sessions,”
he says, adding that he avoided eating prison food and lived on a diet of
biscuits and milk.
He solemnly adds that Iranian lawyers who read his file have speculated
that since the ruling and charges were a “clear case of framing,” and as his
enemies were the powerful Yakuza mafia, the proceedings could have been
a show trial.
Lotfi-Nasab says he suffered one count of torture, when his hands were
tied- one hand from above and over his shoulder and the other from behind--
(a method known as 'carrying a sword on the back') for 21 days.
When asked whether he tried to appeal his case after his release, Lofti-Nasab
said there had been four attempts on his life while he was in jail.
“Whoever was behind putting me in jail did not want me to ever come out.”
He says after a technical spat with the presiding judge over his assigned
translator he was taken straight to the torture room, and did not even find
out the court's ruling until later.
Four prosecutors were changed during the course of the trial, he claims.
He said while the trial may have been for show, the prison was all too real.
One of the officers pushes him to a four-meter falls, and after his jaw is broken
he is denied medical care for four months.
“My trial lasted 13 days, and when my lawyer visited me to inform me of the
court decision he linked my conviction to the fact that the number 13 is
symbolically ominous in the Persian culture.”
He first met with envoys from the Iranian Foreign Ministry more than five
years into his sentence.
He is currently living in Iran and looks forward to answers from Japan,
possibly through a judicial session between the two countries.
The Japanese Embassy in Tehran said they had no information on the
case and therefore, could not comment on the report.
