At least 71 people were killed in Israel’s attack on Tehran’s Evin prison, a notorious facility where many political prisoners and dissidents have been held, Iran’s judiciary said on Sunday.

An Israeli attack on Tehran's Evin prison left at least 71 dead. This notorious site has held many of Iran’s political prisoners. Rights groups criticized both Israel for targeting the prison and Iran for failing to protect inmates.

One of the most calculated air strikes conducted by Israel in its campaign against Iran was at the notorious Evin Prison, where numerous political prisoners and anti-state journalists have been detained. Israeli missiles struck the prison gates in what it called an attack on Iranian "repression infrastructure."
