A video released by Iranian authorities shows that Ward 209 of Evin Prison—the section operated by the Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS)— was damaged in Israel’s strike, according to activist and former inmate Hossein Razzagh.
"Many friends were held in this notorious ward, and there’s still no news about them," he posted on X.
Ward 209 lies outside the prison’s regular judicial oversight. Rights groups have documented the use of prolonged solitary confinement, harsh interrogations, and restricted legal access in the ward, which typically holds political detainees, activists, dual nationals, and foreign nationals.
