"I just spoke to Andy and he is being threatened in prison that he is going toreceive a beating. "I hold State Security responsible for the physical integrity of my son," she said indignantly.

"You are criminals, the real murderers are you who are ordering the killing of political prisoners in prison. Not one more death threat against my son," he added.
