According to an Iranian prison official, the first step for turning one of Iran’s most notorious prisons into a park has been taken. Evin prison is renowned for holding some of Iran’s most well-known political prisoners and high-profile dual nationals.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a ceremony marking Judiciary Week, Asghar Jahangir, the head of Iran’s prisons, said, “We prepared the initial draft agreement and sent it to the municipality.” According to Tasnim News Agency, the judiciary needs agreements on a new prison and transfer of prisoners.
