iReport (CNN)

This is the story of Ebrahim, a young brave and courageous Iranian, who is raped by the Islamic Republic thugs after he was arrested for a peaceful demonstration. Despite all the dangers, he decides to go forward with his story to Mr. Karoubi and discusses his case with the Fact Finding Committee. Instead of looking into his complaint, the committee accused him of lying and an "unidentified individual" threatens to kill his family if he shared what had happened to him. This brave young man decides to go in to hiding to save his family but emailed and video taped his story to Mr. Alameh-Zadeh who is known for his interviews of many rape victims of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Ebrahim shows his most admirable human face when he asks Mr. Alameh-Zadeh to do with the tape what he thinks is best to help other Iranian young men and woman who are facing the same danger.
