Inside is the most deadly stroke of Israel by Iran

“For me, the hell was not the moment that Israel was attacked; the devil was when they didn’t open the door (from the camera) for us,” Motohare Guni recalls in an exclusive BBC interview.

Gonna’s political activist was in solitary imprisonment in the notorious prison of Evin Iran, when he was hit on a targeted attack on June 23.

Satellite images, witness accounts and proven staff received by the BBC News Persian reveal new details of the attack during Israeli-Iran war and those who died.

The high security complex, sitting on the northern outskirts of Tehran, has spent thousands of political prisoners over the last half a century. On that day in June, the prison became the site of the deadly Israeli strike on Iranian land in terms of civil victims.

Iranian authorities say 80 people were killed – among them prisoners, prisoners, medical workers, visitors and residents of nearby quarters.

The report published on August 14, Human Rights Watch said Israeli air strikes were illegally bewildered and made a clear military offense.

Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the attack was that the object was used “for reconnaissance operations against Israel”.

Describing the moment when the explosions broke through the connection, Guni said, “When I heard the third explosion, I was sure that the exit did not come out. I just hit the door of my power, but it didn’t open. I thought” this is the end of your life – say goodbye. “

Freeing himself from the camera to another prisoner, Guni came across a thick, soul of smoke. He says the guards initially tried to block the prisoners from the escape, and some prison interrogations even threatened them.

And yet, in the scenes, she called the “horrific but humanized”, the prisoners rushed to help the victims of the guards, reassuring the panic woman and tied the wounds of the crying interrogation.

Other prisoners from another ward rushed to help doctors and nurse who were in the prison clinic.

Said Makarem, a doctor who was badly wounded in the strike, later wrote on Instagram: “The most prisoners I once treated, saved my life.”

Another woman who took place in Evina, provided with the anonymity of the fears for her safety, described the moment of the attack on the BBC.

“At first, several explosions occurred, and the noise lasted for about two minutes.

“At first we stayed on our beds because the windows collapsed, then we dressed, and everyone helped to get old women below. None of the prison helped us – they closed the door to us and said we couldn’t get out.”

The BBC analysis shows that Israel attacked Evin with at least six shells, damaging at least 28 buildings in the complex.

IDF states that he held a “purposeful blow” on the “symbol of oppression against the Iranian people” and claimed that measures had been taken to minimize the damage for civilians.

But a relative of the political prisoner who came to visit, a few minutes after the explosions said: “Those who were leaving the prison said that there were bodies everywhere. Some prisoners came out, none of them tried to escape – just stunned.”

Iranian authorities say 75 prisoners fled during chaos. Later, some were restored or returned voluntarily.

Iranian officials say that of the 80 people who died as a result of the attack, 42 ​​were imprisoned and five prisoners. Only the names of the staff were released.

The BBC News Persian independently confirmed the identity and circumstances surrounding the death of three victims through interviews with their relatives. They are:

• Masud Behbahani, a double Iranian-American citizen who was held by financial fees. His family received conflicting reports of his death by the Iranian prison organization.

• Arvin Mohammadi, 37 years old

• Mehrangiz Imanpour, 61, a famous artist and painter killed by fragments

Among other victims who died as a result of the attack were a local mother of an annual child, a vocal who visited to organize the release of the prisoner, five social workers, 13 young military recruits and a five -year -old child of one of the social workers.

After the attack on the prison, Evin’s fate of transgenders remains unknown. Some media reports claim that 100 prisoners have been killed, but the Persian BBC investigation shows it is not true.

Cabababi, lawyer in Iran, who monitors the situation of transgenders, said the BBC: “There are serious problems about their situation. Nobody knows where these prisoners are now.”

Israel claimed that “intelligence operations (against this) was used in prison, including counter-epion.” He did not answer the BBC questions about the exact targets or weapons, or whether she expects the death of civilians.

A month after Amnesty International, an incident report published.

“The referral of attacks on civilian objects is strictly prohibited in accordance with international humanitarian legislation. The conduct of such attacks deliberately and intentionally represents a war crime,” said Eric Gvara Rosas, senior research, propaganda, politics and amnesty campaigns.

The UN Human Rights Office stated that Evin was “not military purpose” and the attack violated the international humanitarian law.
