notingThe morning after: So far it is unclear what exactly happened last night in Evin prison in Tehran. The fire is out. Relatives gather in front of the prison. Three scenarios are circulating:
1.) There was a riot and prisoners set fire.
2.) Arson by regimes to kill political opponents.
3.) Fire breaks out as a result of an accident and is accepted with approval.
Important to know for the assessment: there are many protesters and political prisoners in the Evin torture prison.
The statements by Iranian state news agencies like Fars or Irna are bullshit. Please don't believe. They say, for example, that there was a conflict between gangs of thieves. Or claim that people walked over mines when trying to break out.
Scenario 2.) is supported by indications that are currently coming from the environment of prisoners: A prominent prisoner of the Rafsanjani family, who is on leave, was told that he should not return to Evin prison for the time being.
@HassanRonaghi , brother of the imprisoned opposition figure @HosseinRonaghi , says: "With the fire in Evin prison, they want to create another Rex cinema. They want to sacrifice the prisoners for their survival. The lives of the Evin prisoners are in danger." The attack on the Rex cinema in Abadan in August 1978 killed 422 people. Khomeini ordered the fire to incite the population against the Shah. He boldly claimed that the mullahs were wrongly accused. A lie.
Last year the security cameras of #EvinPrison were hacked. The recordings give insights into this torture prison. The regime has always refused to let UN inspectors into Evin prison. No wonder. The overcrowded Evin prison must not be photographed, pictures are rare. Photographer Zahra Kazemi was arrested and tortured to death in 2003 for taking photos in front of it. Ward 209 for political prisoners, which is under the control of the secret service, is notorious.
According to @1500tasvir_en , there were attacks by the security forces in wing 7 + 8. There are also many political prisoners there. From politics, culture + journalism. According to a message to @FSeifikaran , up to 50 people were taken away from section 8. The judiciary claims there have been four deaths ('smoke inhalation') at Evin prison. That must be doubted. These pictures are shown in state media, which allegedly show the consequences of yesterday's fire. That can also be fake. Don't trust them.
@NatalieAmiri about the propaganda of state television. Love that @Weltspiegel_ARD is covering Evin Prison today. It is important to keep looking at what is happening in Iran. Our attention can save lives there.

"All quiet," says state television in the report on Evin prison. Prisoners are sleeping, moderator points to the clock, "It's two o'clock at night". Can the moderator sleep at night? More about the fire in the biggest prison of #Iran today in @Weltspiegel_ARD
