Iranian opposition leader Mehdi Karroubi, who has charged post-election detainees were raped, said one of the victims has disappeared after being interrogated, his website reported on Wednesday.
Karroubi said the judiciary officials had "intimidated" and sought to "condemn" the unnamed victim in questioning, the Etemad Melli website reported.
"This person had been treated so outrageously that he has disappeared and there is no news of him," the reformist cleric who was defeated in the June 12 presidential election said. The victim was said to be among protesters detained and later released.
