CAIRO — A towering blaze at a notorious prison housing political prisoners and anti-government activists in Iran’s capital killed four inmates, the country’s judiciary said Sunday. The dramatic scenes of the nighttime fire have reverberated across Iranian social media.
Ten inmates were hospitalized, with four of them in serious condition, Mizan reported. It said some prisoners had tried to escape but failed. The European Union’s top diplomat Josep Borrell expressed his “most serious concern” to Iran’s foreign minister and called for “maximum transparency on the situation” following the prison blaze and apparent violence.
The U.S.-based Center for Human Rights in Iran reported that an “armed conflict” broke out within the prison walls. It said shots were first heard in Ward 7 of the prison. This account could not immediately be corroborated.
