It is notorious for its mistreatment of political prisoners, including foreign detainees and thousands in prison on criminal charges. Hundreds of those arrested on the background of the recent protests were sent to Evin. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iranian version of the story says \u201cthugs\u201d set fire to prison clothing depots. Iran state-run IRNA news agency cited a Tehran-based prosecutor commenting on the Evin affair as saying \u201cnothing to do with recent unrest in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those behind the \u201criot\u201d were prisoners convicted of \u201cfinancial crimes and theft,\u201d the authority\u2019s version tells. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, both the version and the death toll given by Iran authorities are doubted by human rights groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One version told by the Oslo-based group Iran Human Rights (IHR) revealed that \u201cThere are reports about special forces&#8217; deployment to extort prisoners and lay the groundwork for action,\u201d IHR called for a fact-finding committee be sent to the ground. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another one, largely based on stories told by relatives of inmates inside Evin, said the protests were organized by inmates mostly women echoing the ones sweeping the country since September 16. Police guards could deal with the situation. There are nearly 15.000 inmates at Evin. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent updates say, eight inmates were reported dead and 61 others were reported injured, according to official sources. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2017 and 2019 there were protests in the Islamic Republic. However, they were seen as more regional and confined to limited places. The Amini\u2019s related ones are seen as nation-wide and more pervading and attracting all classes, ethnicities and sects in the country that is being ruled since 1979 by an iron fist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As authorities are astonished at the scale of pervasion, security forces are convulsing with protesters. The first slogans read \u201cDeath to the Dictator,\u201d a reference to the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the recent ones have called for a regime change. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the IHR, at least 108 people have been killed by security forces in crackdown following the death of Amini, and at least 93 more have been killed in separate clashes in Zahedan, Sistan-Balochistan province, while Iranian Human Rights activist news agency HRANA said on Saturday at least 240 protesters had been killed, including 32 minors and over 8.000 people had been arrested in 111 cities and towns, according to human rights groups. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mohsen Mansouri, the governor of Tehran, told IRNA \u201cThe fire has been contained, and peace is maintained,\u201d but not in the whole of the country, at Evin Prison, rather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reporting by Havand
