All of these men were requiredto post bail and will reportedly face a trial scheduled to take place in June.There are conflicting reports as to whether the fifth man has been released.They were among 87 people reportedly arrested at the party. Of these, 60 havebeen released unconditionally, while 26, including those referred to above,were released on bail.The 17 men are believed to have been wearing clothes generally associated withwomen at the time they were arrested. They are not believed to have had accessto lawyers or their families, and a judge has reportedly said that thosedetained following the private party will be charged with consumption ofalcohol and “homosexual conduct� (hamjensgarai). Amnesty International isnot aware of any evidence that the men attending the party identify themselvesas gay or were engaging in same-sex sexual relations. The arrests took placeat a time when the authorities were mounting a security operation to enforcedress codes in Iran.During the arrests, those attending the party were said to have been draggedinto the street by police and members of the Basij force (volunteerparamilitary units attached to the Revolutionary Guards Corps), who beat themseverely, causing bruising and, in some cases, broken bones. It remainsunclear if those detained were allowed access to medical treatment.Amnesty International will continue to monitor the situation closely and takefurther action if necessary.No further action is requested from the UA network.
