WANA (Aug 08) – Following the return of inmates to Evin Prison, media outlets linked to Mossad and affiliated propagandists attempted to circulate claims of a confrontation during the transfer process — allegations officials say are entirely false.

 

According to Iran’s Judiciary, under the directives of the Chief Justice, and through the round-the-clock efforts of the Prisons Organization, the Judiciary’s Protection and Intelligence Center, the Tehran Prosecutor’s Office, and oversight from the Human Rights Headquarters, extensive reconstruction work was carried out in less than six weeks to clear the damage at Evin Prison following the recent Israeli attack on inmates. This work prepared the new residential facilities for prisoners.

 

On the morning of August 8, the first phase of inmate transfers back to Evin commenced.

 

In the wake of the transfer, Mossad-affiliated media sought to exploit the process by publishing unfounded claims regarding its nature, apparently in an effort to launch another wave of psychological and propaganda attacks targeting Evin Prison.

 

In response, the Public Relations Office of the Tehran Province Prisons Directorate issued a statement rejecting the allegations, stressing that the transfer was conducted in accordance with all security protocols — including the standard use of handcuffs during prisoner transport — while fully respecting the legal rights of the individuals involved.

 

The statement noted that during the transfer, a small number of inmates (five individuals) refused to comply with security protocols by insisting they be moved without handcuffs. As this request violated protective standards, it was denied. The inmates ultimately complied without incident, and the transfer proceeded in complete calm.

 

Authorities confirmed that inmates are now settled in their respective wards, marking the completion of the first stage of the transfer operation.
