Following an Israeli airstrike on Tehran's notorious Evin Prison on June 23, 2025, Iranian authorities have transferred all inmates from the facility to other prisons across Tehran Province to allow for damage repairs. Evin Prison is known for holding political prisoners and detainees with Western ties, including a unit run by the Revolutionary Guard. The Iranian judiciary and prison authorities stated the transfers were intended to uphold prisoners' rights and provide better services. However, reports from human rights organizations and political prisoners indicate that the relocation was conducted under armed threat, with incidents of violence, overcrowding, poor sanitary conditions, and restricted family contact.

Some political prisoners transferred to facilities such as Qarchak and Tehran Grand Prison have issued statements describing harsh treatment and deteriorating conditions. Activists have criticized the Iranian government for negligence and exacerbating risks to prisoners following the strike. The attack and subsequent prisoner transfers have raised concerns internationally about the safety and rights of political detainees in Iran.
