**Israel's Airstrikes on Evin Prison Spark Outrage Across Iran**

**A significant attack by Israel has transformed the notorious Evin prison from a symbol of oppression to a rallying point for dissent among Iranians.**


**The June 23 airstrikes, which reportedly killed 79 and injured many, have intensified criticism of Israel and unified even its opposition.**

The June 23 airstrikes by Israel on Evin prison, a site recognized worldwide as a symbol of oppression in Iran, have stirred widespread outrage, even among critics of the Iranian government. The attack, which reportedly targeted the prison's hospital ward, has turned the prison — long associated with torture and punishment of dissenters — into a focal point for anti-Israel sentiment in the nation.

Damages at the prison were extensive, with significant destruction reported in areas such as the visitor center and infirmary, where shattered glass and debris lay scattered. Iranian authorities have confirmed that 79 individuals lost their lives in the attack, which is part of the ongoing 12-day Israel-Iran conflict. The casualty figures are expected to rise as more information comes to light about the injured, many of whom included family members of inmates, social workers, and civilians who lived nearby.

Since the strike, criticism of Israel has intensified within Iran. Various human rights groups and media outlets have reported the personal toll of the airstrikes, detailing stories of innocent victims, including a 5-year-old child. The airstrike's fallout has also had repercussions on the political landscape, where it has prompted dissenters, previously critical of the Iranian regime, to unite against what they perceive as an external aggressor, thus complicating the narrative around domestic opposition.

As tensions escalate, the international community continues to monitor the situation, with calls for accountability growing louder in the wake of the devastating attack on Evin prison.
