Hackers from a group called "Adalat Ali" published security camera footage they claim shows the inside of Iran's Evin Prison, where Iran jails and brutally tortures its political prisoners, according to Radio Farda.
یک گروه هکری به نام «عدالت علی» تصاویری را منتشر کرده که به گفته این گروه از دوربینهای امنیتی #زندان_اوین دریافت شده است. در یکی از ویدئوها پیام هشدار حمله سایبری به نام این گروه بر روی نمایشگرهای اتاق کنترل دیده میشود. در ویدئویی دیگر فردی نحیف با لباس زندان بر زمین میافتد. pic.twitter.com/Gdb5u5DdVV

One of the clips released showed the name of the group broadcast in a cyberattack warning on the screens of the prison's control room.
Other videos showed wardens abusing prisoners, dragging them along the floor.
"Evin Prison is a stain on the black turban and white beard of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, nationwide protests until the release of political prisoners," read a sentence broadcast on the screens in the control room, according to the report.
The Evin Prison was placed under US sanctions in 2018 for "ordering, controlling, or otherwise directing, the commission of serious human rights abuses against persons in Iran or Iranian citizens or residents, or the family members of the foregoing."
According to the statement by the US Treasury at the time, prisoners at Evin Prison are subject to brutal tactics such as sexual assault, physical assaults and electric shock.
Raisi was identified by Amnesty International as a member of the Tehran "death commission" that sent thousands to their deaths in Evin Prison and Gohardasht Prison.
