Report: Iran TV airs 355 coerced confessions over decade

(AP Photo/Vahid Salemi, File)DUBAI Iranian state television has broadcast the suspected coerced confessions of at least 355 people over the last decade as a means to both suppress dissent and frighten activists in the Islamic Republic on behalf of security services, according to a report released Thursday. The number of those filmed likely is even higher as some say their coerced confessions have yet to air, while others may not have been immediately accessible to researchers, said Mohammad Nayyeri, co-director of Justice for Iran. IRIB operates as a media hub that links a vast network of security, intelligence, military and judicial organizations, the report said. State television aired confessions by suspected members of communist groups, insurgents and others. But there are many more, according to the report, including those who have yet to see their confessions broadcast.
