Israeli strike on Iranian jail killed dozens on people
Israel's attack on the Evin Prison in Iran's capital Tehran killed 71 people including staff, inmates and neighbours, an Iranian official says. At the end of an air war with Iran, Israel struck Tehran's most notorious jail for political prisoners on June 23, in a demonstration that it was expanding its targets beyond military and nuclear sites to aim at symbols of Iran's ruling system. "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," judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir said in remarks carried on the judiciary's news outlet Mizan on Sunday. Jahangir had previously said part of Evin prison's administrative building had been damaged in the attack and people were killed and injured. The judiciary added that remaining detainees had been transferred to other prisons in Tehran province. Evin prison holds a number of foreign nationals, including two French citizens detained for three years. "The strike targeting Evin prison in Tehran, put our citizens Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris in danger. It is unacceptable," France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot had said on social media X after the attack.
