Sattar BeheshtiThe mother of an Iranian blogger who died in custody has called on Iranian officials to make their investigation into his death public.
Gohar Eshghi, the mother of Sattar Beheshti, told RFE/RLs Radio Farda that authorities have not allowed her to see her son's body.

She accused authorities of torturing her son to death.

Iran's parliament called on January 6 for a special inquiry into Beheshtis death.

The 35-year-old Beheshti was arrested at his home in Robat Karim on October 30.

He died several days later after complaining he'd been tortured by his interrogators.

His family was informed of his death on November 6.

Beheshti's death has led to several arrests and the dismissal of the head of Tehrans cyberpolice, which reportedly arrested him for his online activism.
