Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren has been sounding the alarm on the treatment of Americans in Iran. If America had a President who loved America, he wouldn’t be negotiating about nuclear arms while this was happening.

Now, a U.S. Marine imprisoned in Iran for nearly four years says the American has been drugged, whipped, and told a heartbreaking lie that his mother died in a car accident while he awaits a retrial.

The sister and brother-in-law of Amir Hekmati appeared with Greta and described in shocking detail the torture that the veteran has endured since his arrest in August 2011. Hekmati, has suffered stun-gun assaults, has been whipped, dosed with lithium, and hung by his arms while held in the Islamic Republic. His captives are savages and pure evil:

But the worst abuse of all may have been the emotional torture of being told by cruel guards that his mother had died, according to his sister, Sarah Hekmati.

“He was put in stressful positions for long periods of time,” said Sarah Hekmati. “He had to endure the news that they had told him that his mother was killed in a car accident; just the emotional torture of being told that and not having a way to contact our family.

“To be told that and not know if that’s true or not,” she also said. “He was drugged with lithium for a long period of time and then forcibly it was removed so that he would have to endure painful withdrawal symptoms and then he was whipped on his feet.”

Sarah’s husband, Dr. Rami Kurdi, also detailed some the other horrific torture that Hekmati has endured.

“The torture we heard of as described by Amir himself was cold water, dirty cold water poured on the ground whenever he’d fall asleep to kind of keep him awake,” he said. “Lights on day and night, just to interrupt his sleep pattern. And these were just the smaller things. He was hung by his arms, Tasered – hung by his arms for an indefinite amount of time.”

This is shameful! While America spends years debating the merits of water-boarding and sleep deprivation, our enemies are treating American Marines in unspeakable ways. This is cruel and criminal… America should not be negotiating with Iran for any reason, EVER!
