Ahmadreza Djalali was not injured when Evin prison was attacked by Israel on Monday morning. But the thousands of prisoners, many of them imprisoned for political reasons, have nowhere to go in the war, and are dependent on prison guards to get food and water.
Besides the immediate danger that the war entails, the risk of executions has also increased. Several political prisoners, who like Djalali are arbitrarily accused of spying for Israel, have been executed in recent days.
On Monday afternoon, after Mehrannia sent the letter to Kristersson, it was announced that Djalali had been moved from his cell in Evin prison and was asked to pack his things. It is unclear where he is being taken, and whether the transport is a step in carrying out the execution or if prisoners are being transported for security reasons related to the war.
In the letter to Kristersson, which TT has taken part of, Mehrannia asks the Prime Minister to urge all NATO partners and EU member states to "do everything in their power to ensure that all parties to the conflict provide maximum protection to political prisoners held by the Islamic Republic... and demand that they be released immediately".
