Iran will prosecute officials for violating civil rights in post-election events, local satellite Press TV reported on August 4.
Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) said the officials involved in violation of civil rights in the detention center south of Tehran will be prosecuted, the report said.
The SNSC said it had tasked a special fact-finding team with investigating cases of violation of the civil rights in Kahrizak detention center, Press TV added.
Last week, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei ordered Tehran's Kahrizak detention center to be closed.
"The detention center which the supreme leader ordered to be closed was Kahrizak (detention center) since it lacked facilities," the official IRNA news agency quoted lawmaker Kazem Jalali assaying.
The issue became a source of controversy when two of its (Kahrizak) detainees later died in a hospital.
Earlier, Head of Iran's National Security Council Saeed Jalili said that Khamenei had ordered authorities to "precisely" probe into incidents in which wrongdoing may have been committed against detainees.
Protests gripped Tehran and other Iranian cities after the presidential elections in June, amid claims that votes had been rigged in favor of incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Iran's state media said at least 20 people had been killed in relevant clashes, including some in custody.
More than 1,000 protestors and dozens of reformist activists were reportedly arrested in the wake of the disputed election. The authorities said that most of them have been released.
