A top Iranian prosecutor says a doctor who blew the whistle on the torture of jailed opposition protesters in Iran died of poisoning from an overdose of an anti-hypertension drug in his salad. Tehran's public prosecutor Abbas Dowlatabadi says investigators are trying to determine whether his death was a suicide or murder, according to the state news agency IRNA.
The doctor, Ramin Pourandarjani, died on November 10 in mysterious circumstances, raising opposition fears he was killed. He earlier testified to a parliament commission that a jailed protester he treated at Tehran's Kahrizak prison died from torture.
