For me, hell was not the moment Israel attacked; hell was the moment they wouldn't open the door [of the cell] for us, recalls Motahareh Goonei, a political activist held captive in Iran's notorious Evin Prison during the targeted missile strike by Israel on June 23. Satellite images and verified footage reveal a deadly attack on a high-security facility known to house political prisoners, resulting in allegations of war crimes against Israel by Human Rights Watch. Eyewitness accounts describe chaos as the explosions disrupted the prison, leading to fatalities among prison staff, visiting family members, medical workers, and nearby residents. As the dust settled, attempts to rescue fellow inmates showcased humanity amid the horror. The Iranian government insists that the facility was being used for intelligence operations against Israel, while organizations express grave concerns regarding the attack's legality and the treatment of vulnerable prisoners, including transgender individuals whose fates remain uncertain.
