Evin Prison is among the most infamous detention facilities in the world and is also known as the “Black Hole” for dissenters.
An Israeli strike on Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison earlier this week killed at least 71 people, Iran’s judiciary said on Sunday (June 29).
Last Monday’s strike on the heavily fortified complex in the north of Tehran as part of the bombardment campaign Israel launched on June 13 killed 71 people according to official figures released today.
The Israeli strike, reports said, destroyed part of the administrative building of the prison complex.
Evin Prison is located in northern Tehran, and is among the most infamous detention facilities in the world.
It is known for its harsh conditions and role in suppressing dissent.
The prison is also known as the “Black Hole” for dissenters and, despite Iran claiming prison reforms, human rights organizations claim abuses continue to take place inside the highly-fortified complex.
