NCRI - The family of slain blogger Sattar Beheshti has been put under pressure from the regime to keep silent about his death, an Iranian MP has revealed.
The mother of Sattar told MP Ali Motahari that she had been threatened to prevent her from talking about her son's death.
Mr Motahari said in parliament on April 9: "In a ceremony held to mark 40 days since Satar's death, his mother said that she was forced to sign and give her consent " about the way his son's case had been handled by "showing an arrest warrant for her dauther."
He said Satar's mother told him: "I didn't want the further sorrow of losing my daughter, so I had to sign it."
Iranian interior minister Mostafa Mohammad Najar who is in charge of the case defended closing the investigation in Satar's death, adding: "Satar Beheshti engaged in activities against the Islamic Republic of Iran on the internet and Facebook by posting writings under a fake name.
"He also had connections with and collaboration with dissident political activists and foreign countries. He fed dissidents and the enemy by sending them false information on the political and social condition in the country.
"After studying the case, the cyber-police of greater Tehran demanded a judiciary official to issue an arrest warrant for Satar to prevent the spread of more destructive elements against the government on the internet."
Sattar Beheshti later was slain while in custody.
