Original: Iran demolishes Gohardasht Prison watchtower, putting evidence of regime’s crimes at risk
Iranian authorities have demolished a watchtower at Gohardasht Prison in Karaj, a facility long associated with the detention and execution of political prisoners. Critics, including opposition and human rights groups, say the destruction could destroy physical evidence of abuses committed there, including the 1988 mass executions of prisoners. They are calling for the site to be preserved and independently examined.
Why now: Demolition at a prison notorious for the 1988 mass executions raises fears that evidence of human rights abuses is being erased.
