At 14:00 today, Sunday, January 28, the anti-riot guards, accompanied by the intelligence ministry’s agents, stormed Unit 4 of Ghezel Hesar Prison, assaulting and injuring the political prisoners and destroying or confiscating their belongings. During this confrontation, five prisoners were wounded. The prisoners were protesting against the increasing number of recent executions and the issuance of death sentences by the regime’s oppressive judiciary.

Chanting “Death to Khamenei,” “Death to the dictator,” and “Khamenei, the traitor, we will bury you,” the prisoners resisted and managed to drive out the oppressive agents. Currently, the anti-riot guards are stationed in the prison yard with weapons. The raid on defenseless prisoners is a known method employed by the regime to break their spirit.

The Iranian Resistance emphasizes the urgent need for international reporters and relevant authorities to visit Ghezel Hesar Prison and meet with the prisoners, especially the political detainees. It demands a firm condemnation of the oppressive regime of the mullahs due to the increasing trend of executions, torture, and pressure on the prisoners.
