The Greater Tehran Central Prison is a place that neither human rights, nor humanity nor religion and morality exist.
Since late July and with the passing of nearly two weeks some 1000 individuals have been transferred from various wards in Evin Prison to the Greater Tehran Prison. This is how the prisoners are transferred. Every morning first the phones are disconnected in the wards so that no one could let the news out about the transfer. Then all of the transferees are called out and must be ready with their stuff within 2 hours. Prisoners’ hands and legs are then chained and boarded on a bus that goes from Evin to the Greater Tehran with a special police escort.
The Greater Tehran is one of the most security prisons in Iran and it is famous for its rough and excessive treatment of its inmates. However, the inmates, due to their charges, have never been able to echo these violent measures.
In the Greater Tehran Central Prison, instead of solitary confinement, there are 20 bed cells that sometimes hold up to 60 or 70 inmates. They doors of these cells are always closed and the prisoners have no access to fresh air or sunlight and they are unable to purchase cigarettes from the prison store. According to the prison guards the inmates are kept there until they express remorse. There are month search and inspections that are carried out roughly and inhumanely. Prison officials have left the guards’ hands open in treating the prisoner violently. The slightest protest by the prisoners is answered with batons and beatings.
