Iranian police officers are gang-raping imprisoned female protesters and then cutting out their uteruses to cover up the horrific torture \u2013 before shipping their lifeless bodies home to their families, according to a shocking new report.<\/p>\n

Prisoners suspected of participating in the nationwide anti-regime demonstrations<\/a> that shook the nation last month are being terrorized, raped, and slaughtered daily by groups of militant police officers behind bars, an Iranian source told News Nation.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI am most worried about the people who got arrested,\u201d the source, who witnessed the massacre of protesters, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are raping men and women in jail. They are being raped every day by [a] group of police. We are not people to [the regime]. People are getting raped in the jail every day,\u201d they continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will hurt you. They will punch you. They will dig your nails out of your skin. They are biting them. The people who are arrested will not be fed. They are being killed by the government every day in jail.\u201d<\/p>\n

An Iranian refugee also told the outlet that they and others who were locked up were gang-raped at gunpoint by masked men and turned into \u201csexual slaves\u201d who were mocked for their opposing beliefs.<\/p>\n

Some female detainees were allegedly mutilated in an attempt to conceal the militants\u2019 barbaric sexual abuse.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the women\u2019s bodies that were returned to their families were missing their wombs so that the crimes could not be traced or investigated,\u201d the refugee added.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, most families did not pursue the matter further in order to avoid even more suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n

One haunting photo obtained by the outlet showed the body of a woman imprisoned in Bojnord, with \u201cclear signs of torture and trauma\u201d when returned to her family 25 days later, the refugee said.<\/p>\n

Shaghayegh Moradiannejad, an Iranian photographer who escaped the country with her family five years ago, pressed that torture has \u201calways been the regime\u2019s method.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring interrogations, they squeeze their breasts, use obscene and degrading language, and subject them to sexual abuse,\u201d she told News Nation.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s security forces have arrested more than 50,000 people suspected of participating in the protests<\/a>, with detainees including students, children, lawyers, doctors and more, according to activists.<\/p>\n

More than 7,000 people were reportedly killed during the nationwide crackdown<\/a> last month, with many still feared dead.<\/p>\n

President Trump has warned that the killings, along with Iran\u2019s failure to agree to a new nuclear deal<\/a>, could incite direct military action<\/a>, with Tehran threatening that such a move would result in all-out war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iranian police officers are gang-raping imprisoned female protesters and then cutting out their uteruses to cover up the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":140850,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[14670,9,11,10,4648,3018,19170,1076],"class_list":{"0":"post-140849","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-iran","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-new-york-headlines","11":"tag-new-york-news","12":"tag-protests","13":"tag-rape","14":"tag-torture","15":"tag-world-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140849"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140849\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/140850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
