Inmate of Ward 8, #Evin Prison:

-Many inmates were wounded with pellet rounds

-One inmate was wounded with a live bullet, had major bleeding
-Col. Mahmoudi went to Ward 8 with his forces & said: "Your mothers will be mourning you. The day has come for all of you to die!"
-They then viciously attacked the inmates. Some were transferred to unknown locations

#Iran's state media claim the #Evin fire began from the sewing workshop. This is a lie.
All workshops are closed at sunset with the daily roll call. One of the sewing workshops is located behind Ward 8 & another near the administrative parking lot.

Security forces fired tear gas & flashbang grenades into Ward 4 of #Evin Prison on Saturday night, forcing the inmates into closed rooms. No one was allowed into the halls or outside of the ward for fresh air.

The regime's special anti-riot units transferred a number of political prisoners from #Evin's Ward 8 to an unknown location following the attack.



Families & lawyers of inmates are not allowed in or provided any information.

.@IranNW: State-run media claims only eight people were injured during #Evin incident.
IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency claims Saturday night's explosions were caused by fleeing inmates caught in a minefield on the northern side of the prison.

@IranNW Last night, the brother of regime-elite Mehdi Rafsanjani, charged with financial crimes & serving his sentence in #Evin, said Mehdi was told on Friday not to return to prison. This raises concerns that the Evin incident was pre-planned by regime officials.

It appears a number of people are starting a fire near the prison and splashing gasoline to erupt the blaze, according to one local.
