12 August 2009 (Iran's police chief admits torture)

Iran's police chief admits that protesters were tortured in prison.

It is interesting to contrast the history of US and Iranian torture. Iran has been much more ready to admit guilt, but also much more open about convicting people based on confessions apparently obtained through torture.
