Overview

• Amnesty International labeled the prison airstrike a deliberate breach of international humanitarian law and demanded it be investigated as a war crime.
• The June 23 raid, confirmed by Israel, killed 79 people and damaged administrative buildings at the fortified Evin complex.
• Amnesty’s findings drew on video, satellite imagery and witness statements to allege multiple intentional strikes on protected prisoners and visitors.
• Iranian officials report that 27 inmates remain unaccounted for after escaping the damage, with authorities still seeking to recapture them.
• No independent investigation has been initiated, leaving questions over legal accountability and the fate of remaining detainees.
