Israeli Airstrike on Evin Prison Kills 71

News summary

On June 23, an Israeli airstrike on Tehran's Evin Prison killed 71 people, including staff, soldiers, prisoners, family visitors, and nearby residents, according to Iranian authorities. The strike was part of a 12-day Israeli aerial campaign targeting military and regime-related sites in Iran. Among the victims was Ali Ghanaatkar, a top prosecutor known for pursuing dissidents, which has fueled fears of intensified crackdowns on political prisoners and activists. Human rights groups and the United Nations condemned the attack as a breach of international law, arguing Evin Prison was not a legitimate military target. Surviving detainees have been transferred to other prisons, raising concerns about worsening conditions and lack of family contact. The broader conflict has caused over 900 deaths in Iran, and both sides have expressed skepticism about the durability of a recent ceasefire.
