Sources estimate that at least one thousand demonstrators have been detained in the past few days. Given the space limitations of the Evin prison, these detainees have been brought in through the visitation hall instead of the normal front entrance. The have been taken through the long corridor that leads to Section 240 of Evin prison.
Human Rights Activists News Agency reports that hundreds of protestors detained in the recent riots have been transferred to Evin and Kahrizak prisons. Reliable sources have reported the number of detainees to be in the hundreds and some have estimated over one thousand. Given the space limitations of the Evin prison, the detainees have been brought in from a side entrance that normally leads to the visitation hall and taken through a long corridor to Section 240 of the prison. Eyewitnesses report that most detainees had the name "Moussavi" written on their shirts using red or green ink and many have multiple signs of bodily injury from clashes with the authorities. Due to limitations in space, multiple detainees are kept in each small cell in Section 240 and some in Section 209. They are denied visitation and telephone rights, access to healthcare, and meals on a regular basis.
Several other detainees are also being held in the notorious Kahrizak prison. This remote location has the unfortunate history of prisoner mistreatment and harassment and dire conditions during a previous operation to eradicate "street thugs" that led to the loss of lives of several prisoners. There is grave concern regarding the condition of the recent detainees in the Kahrizak facility because of its dark history and the lack of information and transparency
