Iran: Guards attack inmates in Gezel Hessar prison – Breaking news

NCRI – Hundreds of guards at Gezel Hesar Prison in the Iranian city of Karaj raided on Sunday a section of prison where inmates have been preventing the transfer one of their cellmate to solitary confinement to await his execution.

Some 350 prison guards attacked prisoner at the Hall 3 of Section 2 of Gezel Hessar prison where Rasoul Talebi, 20, is being held.

Prior to the raid at least one prisoner has been severely injured by the guards who had surrounded the hall.

On Thursday, a large group of members of IRGC and agents of MOIS, joined by special forces, raided Ward 350 of Tehran’s Evin prison using inspections as an excuse. They barbarically battered, insulted and humiliated the political prisoners.

A number of prisoners were severely injured, including Gholamreza Khossravi-Savadjani, Assadollah Hadi, Javad Fouladvand, Assadollah Assadi, Omid Behrouzi, Esmaeil Barzegarei and Emad Bahavar.
