Human Rights Watch labeled this attack an apparent war crime due to the absence of military targets and the timing during visiting hours. Survivors of the airstrikes have faced severe abuses, including enforced disappearances and inhumane detention conditions. The strikes occurred during a broader conflict with numerous casualties, with the rights group estimating 5,665 casualties in total, compounding the humanitarian crisis arising from military actions in the region.
Israeli airstrikes on Tehran's Evin prison on June 23 killed at least 80 detainees, visitors, and staff amid allegations of targeting non-military facilities during visiting hours.
Human Rights Watch characterized the strikes as an apparent war crime, noting the absence of any evident military targets in the facility, which held many peaceful activists.
The Iranian authorities subsequently subjected survivors of the airstrikes to abusive treatment, including enforced disappearances and inhumane detention conditions, creating a dire situation for the remaining prisoners.
During a 12-day conflict, over 5,665 casualties were reported in Iran as a direct consequence of Israeli strikes, highlighting the significant humanitarian impact of such military actions.
