Iran: Detainees Ill-Treated and Disappeared After Israeli Evin Prison Attack (hrw.org)

Iranian authorities subjected detainees held in Evin prison, including arbitrarily detained human rights defenders and dissidents, to ill-treatment and violence during transfers out of Evin prison after the Israeli attack and as they moved hundreds back to the prison 46 days later.

Authorities have held Evin prisoners in facilities that are overcrowded, filthy, and insect-infested and have refused to disclose the fate and whereabouts of some detainees, which amounts to enforced disappearances and places them at risk of torture.

UN member states should pressure Iran’s government to immediately halt any plans to execute death-row prisoners; disclose the fate and whereabouts of forcibly disappeared detainees, including Swedish-Iranian death-row prisoner Dr. Ahmadreza Djalali; and release all arbitrarily detained prisoners.
