Families of prisoners and human rights sources confirm that bread\u2014the primary staple of inmates\u2019 daily meals\u2014has been removed. &#8220;In recent days, bread has been removed as the prisoners\u2019 main meal, and prison officials claim there is no bread available,&#8221; said a relative of a Baluch prisoner. This is not just administrative mismanagement; it is a blatant violation of the prisoners\u2019 right to life and dignity. The physical and psychological toll on inmates, particularly those who are already ill, has been severe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Food shortages, especially the elimination of basic sustenance, are being viewed not only as a result of institutional failure but also as part of a broader policy to punish prisoners, particularly political detainees. Malnutrition in prison has placed many, including the sick, at grave risk.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> News: Tehran Hit by Airstrikes as <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranIsraelConflict?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranIsraelConflict<\/a> Escalates; Evin Prison Damaged<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Slbi3axJNY\">https:\/\/t.co\/Slbi3axJNY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1937174056395997251?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 23, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Medical Neglect as State Policy<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Worsening the crisis is the denial of medical care. In Kerman Central Prison, there are reports of no doctors or nurses on duty for days at a time. Medical equipment is scarce, and transfers to hospitals are either delayed or deliberately obstructed. This is not a new tactic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Amnesty International<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/campaigns\/2022\/04\/deadly-denial-of-medical-care-in-irans-prisons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> has long reported<\/a> that the Iranian regime uses medical deprivation as a means of torture, especially against political prisoners. The organization has documented at least 96 deaths in Iranian prisons since 2010 due to denial of medical care. These practices violate international laws, including Article 7 of the <em>International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights<\/em> (ICCPR) and Article 1 of the <em>Convention Against Torture<\/em> (CAT).<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Turning Prisons into Human Shields<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a shocking escalation, the regime has reportedly transferred military equipment\u2014such as mobile rocket launchers and missile systems\u2014to the vicinity of prisons and hospitals, turning civilian facilities into military targets. According to sources, these installations have been placed in prison parking lots, blatantly violating international humanitarian law, including Article 3 Common to the Geneva Conventions, which prohibits the use of civilians as human shields.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This policy had catastrophic consequences at Dizel Abad Prison in Kermanshah. On June 16, 2025, following an Israeli strike near the prison, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/human-rights\/iran-news-kermanshah-prison-massacre-at-least-10-killed-over-30-wounded-in-armed-crackdown-following-airstrike-panic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chaos erupted<\/a>. Fearing for their lives, prisoners attempted to escape. Instead of ensuring their safety, prison guards responded with lethal force. At least nine inmates were killed, and several others were wounded by live ammunition, tear gas, and shotgun pellets. This massacre, occurring within a detention facility, may constitute a state crime under international law.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Breaking?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Breaking<\/a> reports from Iran indicate that the entrance gate of Iran&#39;s notorious Evin Prison has been targeted in the latest attacks by Israel. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jgFN6Ccxxk\">pic.twitter.com\/jgFN6Ccxxk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; SIMAY AZADI TV (@en_simayazadi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/en_simayazadi\/status\/1937099280071659681?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 23, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Escalating Repression Under Cover of War<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Iran-Israel war has become a pretext for the regime to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/en\/press-releases\/2025\/06\/iran-un-fact-finding-mission-special-rapporteur-call-civilian-protection-and\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> escalate domestic repression<\/a>. While claiming to defend national sovereignty, the regime is endangering the very lives of its citizens\u2014especially the most vulnerable. Civilians and prisoners are being used as shields to protect military assets. At the same time, basic needs such as food and healthcare are being weaponized against prisoners in a bid to crush dissent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is part of a larger pattern. The regime has long viewed prisoners of conscience\u2014activists, journalists, students, and ethnic minorities\u2014as enemies. Now, amid the fog of war, it is using the conflict as cover to intensify executions and suppress voices of resistance.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Call to the International Community<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The systematic use of civilians and detainees as human shields is a war crime.

What is happening in Kerman and Kermanshah is not an isolated abuse, but part of a coherent strategy of fear and suppression. The international community must respond urgently.
