I den delen av Evin-fengselet hvor politiske fanger sitter, er bøker forbudt, men narkotikaen er billigere enn utenfor murene. Det later til å være et bevisst forsøk på å ødelegge fangene.

While books are banned at the Evin Prison, and families of journalists and political prisoners cannot bring books for their loved ones in capture, drugs are easily distributed in Ward 350 of the Evin Prison, where most journalists and political prisoners are held captive.

According to the website kalame, drug distribution in Ward 350 has worried many families, who suspect that other motives are involved. The families wonder how drugs are distributed so easily around the ward while books are strictly banned, and even the ward’s library and small recreational area are closed.

While drugs are exchanged in higher prices outside prison, they are cheap inside prison.

The families of political prisoners wrote a letter to Tehran’s prosecutor asking him to investigate the sound of explosions that were heard in the Evin Prison area, following which prisoners saw flames blazing near the walls of the prison.

Tehran’s prosecutor, however, has refused to comment on the matter

Books Banned, Drugs Allowed.
