Israeli Airstrike on Tehran's Evin Prison Kills 71, Including Political Prisoners – Shocking Devastation Revealed

Israeli Airstrike on Tehran's Evin Prison Claims 71 Lives, Sparks Global Outrage

Tehran, Iran – Iran’s judiciary announced that a devastating Israeli airstrike on Tehran’s infamous Evin prison last week killed at least 71 people, intensifying international concerns over Israel’s escalating military campaign. The June 23 attack, part of a 12-day conflict targeting Iranian military sites, struck the notorious prison known for housing political prisoners and foreign detainees, including French citizens.

Asghar Jahangir, the judiciary’s spokesperson, confirmed the grim toll seven days after the strike, revealing that the victims included prison guards, staff, inmates, visiting family members, and nearby civilians. Shocking images released by Iranian authorities showed widespread destruction, with collapsed ceilings, shattered walls, and debris scattered across the prison’s administrative wing, medical center, and visitor areas.

While Israel has not officially claimed responsibility for the Evin strike, it has acknowledged conducting multiple airstrikes on Tehran’s military infrastructure. The attack has drawn sharp criticism from human rights groups and families of detainees, who fear for the safety of those held inside. Noemie Kohler, sister of French detainee Cecile Kohler, described the strike as utterly reckless, saying, We’re in agony, not knowing if Cecile and others are alive.

Evin prison, located in northern Tehran and operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, is notorious for its harsh treatment of political dissidents and dual nationals. Among those detained are French citizens Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris, held since 2022 on disputed espionage charges. Iranian authorities have relocated an unspecified number of inmates from the damaged facility in the aftermath.

The airstrike has fueled global alarm, with calls for accountability growing louder as the war between Israel and Iran continues to claim lives and deepen tensions.

Israeli Airstrike on Evin Prison Kills Top Iranian Prosecutor, Escalates Deadly Conflict

Tehran, Iran – Iran’s judiciary confirmed the death of prominent prosecutor Ali Ghanaatkar, notorious for imprisoning dissidents like Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi, in the devastating Israeli airstrike on Tehran’s Evin prison on June 23. Ghanaatkar, a key figure in Iran’s judicial system, will be laid to rest at a revered shrine in Qom, authorities announced.

The strike on Evin prison, a facility infamous for detaining political prisoners and foreign nationals, was part of Israel’s aggressive 12-day campaign launched on June 13 to dismantle Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities. 

The conflict claimed over 1,000 lives in Iran, including at least 417 civilians, according to official reports. In retaliation, Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles targeting Israeli cities, heightening fears of a broader regional war until a fragile ceasefire was secured on Tuesday.

The attack on Evin, which killed 71 people including guards, inmates, and civilians, has sparked global condemnation and raised urgent concerns about the safety of detainees, including French citizens held on disputed charges. As the fallout from the airstrike continues, the international community braces for further tensions in the volatile region.
