Fire breaks out at Iran's infamous prison amid anti-hijab protests, shots heard

October 17, 2022 09:18 AM

A fire broke out in Tehran's Evin prison, where many of Iran's political and dual-national detainees are held, on Saturday night and witnesses reported hearing gunfire.

State news agency IRNA said eight people were injured in the unrest, which erupted after nearly a month of protests across Iran over the death in detention of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman.
