NCRI – On Sunday, November 1, at 4 pm local time, Iranian regime elements, including the chief of inspections and chief warden of Gohardasht (Rajai Shahr) Prison, without prior notice entered Hall 12, Ward 4 of the prison which is allocated to political prisoners.

They inspected every room in the ward, but could not find anything as the defenseless prisoners had nothing on them.

Wardens of Iran’s notorious Gohardasht Prison, in Karaj, north-west of Tehran, raided Ward 12 also on October 26, according to news sources inside of Iran.

During the raid, the wardens conducted body searches of the prisoners and used devices to search the whole ward.

Subsequently they moved all the prisoners from the hall of the ward and savagely rummaged through all their belongings, much of which they destroyed.

The political prisoners repeatedly chanted “Down with Velayat-e-faqih (absolute rule of clergy)” and “Death to the dictator” throughout the snap inspection.
