Iranul demolează o închisoare, în ciuda avertismentelor privind ștergerea dovezilor unor execuții în masă

Iranian authorities have demolished a watchtower at Rajaei Shahr prison, a site linked to mass political executions in 1988, despite warnings about erasing evidence of human rights abuses. The prison, located near Tehran, was central to the trial of Hamid Nouri, a former prison official convicted of war crimes. Human rights organizations have expressed concern that the demolition is part of a systematic effort to erase traces of state crimes. The government plans to transform the site into cultural facilities, but activists warn that this could hinder accountability for past atrocities. The closure of the prison and subsequent demolition have raised alarms about the preservation of evidence related to the executions.
