hospital, where he was in a coma for about a month during which time his family was
searching for him. Mr. Sabouri’s medical record allegedly states that Mr. Sabouri endured
blunt force trauma from a baton used to strike him at least three dozen times. Mr. Sabouri
reportedly suffered loss of speech, urinary incontinence, and required a feeding-tube upon
regaining consciousness. He was discharged from the hospital approximately a month after
the incident, and reportedly suffered from amnesia and numbness in his hands and feet, and
required additional surgery to remove four remaining bullet fragments from his head. He
has since left the country for Turkey and ultimately the United States, but prior to his
departure Mr. Sabouri reportedly underwent eight months of speech and physiotherapy at
home. He passed away on 17 November 2011 in the United States.
