UN Human Rights Office says Evin prison strike a 'grave breach' of international law
On Monday, Iran said Israel struck Evin prison and damaged parts of the facility.
The UN's Human Rights Office has now commented on the strike, calling it a "grave breach" of international law.
"Evin prison is not a military objective, and targeting it constitutes a grave breach of international humanitarian law," spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan tells reporters in Geneva, without naming Israel.
Evin prison holds thousands of people, including political dissidents, human rights defenders and journalists.
As we've been reporting,
at least one person has died following the attack, according to Iran’s judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir, who was quoted by state TV.

Did anyone figure out why on Earth the Israeli psychopaths actually hit the prison?
