Azerbaijan, Baku, Nov. 13 /Trend S.Isayev, T. Jafarov/
Several suspects have been arrested in connection to the death of 35-year old Iranian blogger Sattar Beheshti, Fars reported.
Sattar Beheshti was arrested in his home on October 30, rights groups reported, after receiving death threats. The 35-year-old who ran an anti-government blog died possibly as a result of torture.
After the International condemnation of the incident, Iran's parliament has said to launch an investigation on the incident.
The day before his arrest, Beheshti said he had been threatened.
"They sent me a message saying, 'Tell your mother she will soon be wearing black because you don't shut your big mouth'," Amnesty International quoted him as saying.
According to the carried out investigation, Iranian blogger Sattar Beheshti was not tortured prior to his death, Head of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi said, the official website of country's parliament reported a few days ago.
"Since the investigation on the case has been launched too late, some clues and facts might have been lost already," Tehran prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi said with regards to the investigation.
He added that the prosecutor's office is preparing the necessary documents for the court, and more details would be available in some 10 days.
The European Union's foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton said last week she was deeply concerned by Beheshti's death and she called on Iran to conduct a thorough enquiry into the case.
