Inmate Frozen to Death in U.S. Jail
TEHRAN -- Iran’s top human rights official says at an Alabama jail an inmate was deliberately frozen to death after he was placed in a walk-in freezer for hours, yet no human rights mechanism dares to question such an instance of appalling abuse in the United States.
Kazem Gharibabadi, the secretary of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights, made the remarks on Thursday, after leaked CCTV footage of the jail revealed mentally-ill Anthony Mitchell, 33, froze to death after he was purportedly locked inside the walk-in freezer while in police custody.
