Translating it for the world to read: My journalist colleagues were not only harassed/arrested but tortured. Tortured for 4 hours. They fainted four times and the merciless torture continued. They have extremely bad injuries all over their bodies. They could have been killed.
اصلاح می کنم:
همکاران مورد خشونت قرار نگرفته اند، آنها «شکنجه» شدهاند. شدید، متفاوت و بی سابقه. در طی چهار ساعت، چهار بار بیهوش شدهاند و به هوش آمده اند. می توانست حتی حالا زنده نباشند. بدن شان کبود و راه راه سیاه سیاه است. آنها شکنجه شدهاند بسیار طولانی و بیرحمانه.
