He was locked in one of Iran’s heaviest protected facilities, and he has been holding political prisoners for more than 50 years.

That night, Israel launched a strike for several Iran targets. According to the BBC, the attack on the house was among the most deadly.

Iranian officials, prison guards, health personnel, visitors and nearby residents, including 80 deaths confirmed. The government claimed that the prison was used for intelligence operations against Israel.

Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) later, “the house was a center for operations aimed at Israeli security. This was a sensitive strike.” He said.

However, the images on the ground told a different story-forbidden corridors, collapsed roofs and the horror of the horror fluttering in the corridors full of smoke.

Im When I heard the third explosion, I knew we didn’t go out. I hit the door with everything I had. He didn’t move. I thought it was the last.

During the following hours, the prisoners helped the wounded. Some headed for the wounded guards. Others carried old prisoners down the stairs. There was no emergency intervention.

This means a deliberate war crime,” he said.
