The first and notorious director of Evin Prison who was assassinated

Conditions within Evin Prison are often described as harsh and inhumane. Overcrowding is a significant issue, with many cells designed for a limited number of inmates often housing many more than intended. Access to basic amenities such as sanitation, food, and medical care is frequently limited. Reports of torture and mistreatment have emerged over the years, with former inmates recounting harrowing experiences of physical and psychological abuse. Such conditions have drawn condemnation from various human rights organizations and have sparked international outcry.
