The first and notorious director of Evin Prison who was assassinated

Evin Prison, located in the northern part of Tehran, Iran, is one of the most notorious correctional facilities in the country. Established shortly after the 1979 Iranian Revolution, it has become synonymous with political repression and human rights abuses. Initially constructed to house common criminals, the prison quickly became a holding ground for political dissidents, activists, and intellectuals opposing the regime. Over the decades, it has garnered international attention due to the harsh conditions and treatment of inmates.
