Iranian lovers commit suicide after being tortured and raped in jail...

Two Iranian lovers have been described as the modern day Romeo and Juliet after being driven to suicide by their country’s regime.

Nahal Sahabi, 28, and her boyfriend Behnam Ganji, 22, who were both active bloggers, committed suicide four weeks apart after being imprisoned just for being friends with a human rights activist.

Mr Ganji was detained for eight days, while Ms Sahabi was held for three days at Tehran’s infamous Evin prison – soon after being released they were both dead.

Amir believes his friend was tortured, while another friend, Farya Barlas, told the newspaper that Mr Ganji and Mr Goudarzi were apparently raped in front of each other by guards. Story + photos...
