A glimpse of what is happening in Iranian prisons
American Thinker ^ | 26 Aug, 2021 | Cyrus Yaqubi

A few days ago, hackers in Iran managed to hack the security cameras of the notorious Evin prison in Tehran. By releasing some of the videos copied from CCTV, they were able to show a very small portion of what is going on in this prison to the public.

In different scenes of these videos, the truth of what is really going on in Iranian prisons, like prisoners being mistreated and beaten by the prison security officers is demonstrated. The situation is completely opposite to what is shown in the regime's propaganda films. For example, in a scene, a person seems unconscious, is dragged on the ground like a corpse and pulled up the stairs of the building.

Interestingly, in the same scene, a prison clerk who comes downstairs, regardless of the man's tragic condition, and without even asking a question passes over the man's unconscious body and continues his way. It is clear that the cleric is used to these scenes, and it is very normal to him.

The released footage, although not taken from torture chambers and political prisoners' wards (as it is likely that no cameras were installed in those chambers so that torturers could work safely), is so disturbing that it provoked a widespread reaction within Iran. It became so intense among the Iranian people that even some members of parliament, who are well aware of what goes on in prisons, offered concerned comments in order to calm the situation.

Our political prisoners probably get the same treatment. Totalitarians everywhere act in pretty much the same ways.

I wonder what such a hack would show about the DC jail political prisoners? The Junta ruling the US have much in common with other totalitarian dictatorships.

How shocking! Their propaganda films are not accurate! Probably a lot like those housing US political prisoners in DC.
