Iran’s repressive regime has some 200,000 prisoners, including political dissidents, would-be reformists, recent protesters, civilians who ran afoul of religious codes and a handful of American and European hostages. They are held in a network of prisons, including the notorious Evin, as well as secretive detention centers within security and intelligence complexes. Many are the leaders of a nebulous protest movement that President Trump has urged to rise up and topple a regime in power for almost half a century.

So far, the war in Iran has put them in even graver danger. 

Nearby airstrikes have shaken Evin, followed by toxic smoke and oily acid rain that blanketed Tehran after airstrikes destroyed fuel depots in the city. Inmates take shelter at the buzz of drones sweeping overhead.

At least seven security facilities that house detention centers have been hit in airstrikes, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of satellite images. ”
