Prisoner says guards attacked inmates at Tehran prison after airstrikes

A prisoner inside Tehran Greater Prison says security forces attacked inmates with weapons and tear gas after areas around the facility were targeted by airstrikes.

In a message sent from inside the prison, the inmate said guards launched the assault shortly after areas surrounding Tehran Greater Prison were hit.

According to the message, prison officials used firearms and tear gas against inmates following the incident.

The prisoner also described worsening living conditions inside the facility, saying detainees are facing shortages of water and food.

Gas supplies are being cut off intermittently, and the prison store is not operating, leaving many essential items unavailable to inmates, the prisoner added.
