Iran says 71 killed in Israeli strike on Evin Prison

The strike damaged an administrative building at Tehran's most notorious jail for political prisoners.

Israel's attack on the Evin Prison in Tehran on 23 June killed 71 people, Iranian judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir said on Sunday. Two days before a ceasefire ended the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, the Israeli Air Force struck the Iranian capital's most notorious jail - a site known for holding political prisoners and foreign nationals. The strike on the large, heavily fortified complex in northern Tehran was seen as Israel expanding its targets beyond military and nuclear sites to include symbols of Iran’s ruling establishment. In the attack on Evin Prison, 71 people were martyred, including administrative staff, youth doing their military service, detainees, family members of detainees who were visiting them and neighbours who lived in the prison’s vicinity,” Jahangir was quoted as saying by the judiciary’s news outlet Mizan. He had previously said that part of the prison's administrative building had been damaged in the attack and that there were multiple casualties. The judiciary added that the remaining detainees had been transferred to other prisons across Tehran province.
