Gohardasht prison henchman punished by prisoners
NCRI – The clerical regime’s henchmen in Orumieh prison brutally murdered two inmates. On Sunday, April 18, the special guard in Orumieh prison attacked inmates to quell their protests. In this attack, led by a prison guard named Akbar Pishehvar, an inmate identified as Seifoddin Yahya Zadeh was murdered by blows of baton to his head. The protest in prison was provoked by the murder of another inmate earlier who was identified as Iraj Ghamangiz.
On the same day, the guards in Gohardasht prison attacked inmates in Ward 1 and destroyed or stole their personal belongings. The inmates confronted the attackers and punished the warden, Hassan Akharian, and forced them to retreat. This is the second time that the warden has been punished by the inmates.
