Iran MP sheds light on notorious detention center southeast of Tehran

Kazem Jalali, a member of Iran’s so-called parliament, said in a recent interview that youths arrested during the 2009 protests were transferred to the Kahrizak detention center.
This site was where many youths were tortured and raped.
“The mere transfer of people’s children to Kahrizak was wrong and a completely inappropriate decision,” Jalali said.

“At that time we were told there was no room in Evin Prison! However, when we went to Evin Prison at that time we saw in fact that Evin had plenty of room and we referred to this matter in our report. There were many such cases at that time.” (State asriran.com – March 31, 2016)
