Evin is no ordinary prison. Many of Iran’s best & brightest have spent long stretches confined there, where brave women & men are denied their basic rights for speaking truth to power. The regime is responsible for what happens to those inside right now.
A friend sent this video from Tehran. Evin Prison is on fire. The Charman Highway is shot down. “Please help.” Overwhelming anxiety about thousands of prisoners who are inside. Many of them prisoners of conscious. #MahsaAmini#IranProtests2022#مهسا_امینی#Evin#Iran
#BREAKING There are reports and videos of a fire at Tehran's notorious Evin Prison. The Police Special Units have been reportedly deployed, and prison sirens and gunshots are heard in the videos.
The responsibility for any loss of life in this fire at #Evin prison lies with Ali Khamenei and his evil regime. Some of Iran’s brightest minds and bravest hearts are unjustly held at Evin. We will hold Khamenei and his regime accountable for any harm to any and all of them.
#SOS a huge number of young people who have been arrested are inside this prison! It’s on fire and no news from the inside! #MagsaAmini#مهسا_امينى#زندان_اوین
I lived in Atisaz towers, across from Evin prison. I spoke now to a friend there and could hear-as reflected in this video-cries of 'death to Khamenei' and gunshots. Evin is full of political prisoners, including US citizens. Their families are terrified.
This is alarming: Tonight, Evin Prison in Tehran. We hear gunshots & see fire smoke. There is not much info abt what’s happening inside. The Islamic Republic is responsible for all those lives unjustly behind bars. #MahsaAmini#مهسا_امینی#IranProtests2022 https://t.co/na1jLy4Y4m
Many Iranian political prisoners are kept in notorious Evin Prison. The officials don’t have a good track record in dealing with disaster. Prisoners families are worried for their loved one. #Mahsa_Amini
