Reports received indicate an emergency situation in Evin Prison. Informed sources report disruption in the normal administration process of the prison and severe restrictions on prisoners’ access to food and basic necessities. At the same time, the issue of releasing prisoners in crisis conditions has once again been raised.
Evin Prison, Deprivation of Political Prisoners’ Right to Visit
According to published information, the internal situation of Evin Prison has been described as chaotic. It is said that prison administrative staff have closed the prison gates and left the premises. The prison store has been closed and prisoners are facing difficulties in meeting their daily needs.
Suspension of Food Distribution in Various Wards
According to reports, in the women’s ward of Evin Prison, no food has been distributed since the morning and only a limited amount of bread has been provided to the prisoners. A similar situation has been reported in Ward 7 of Evin Prison, where no food items have been distributed among the prisoners.
This situation has created concerns about the health of the prisoners. In circumstances where access to the store has also been cut off, the possibility of providing basic necessities for the prisoners has become limited.
Families’ Visits and Lack of Accountability
Simultaneously with the publication of these reports, families of prisoners have gone to the front of Evin Prison gate to obtain information about the condition of their loved ones. However, according to sources close to the families, no clear response has been provided to them regarding the prisoners’ situation.
Similar reports have also been published from other cities. Families of prisoners in some cities have gone to the front of prisons, but no transparent information has been provided about the prisoners’ situation.
