# Amnesty International says the Israeli military’s deliberate air strikes on Tehran’s Evin prison during last month’s 12-day war must be criminally investigated as war crimes. The strike killed at least 79 people and destroyed parts of the administrative building. The Evin prison holds political prisoners and foreign nationals. Amnesty International says under international humanitarian law, a prison or place of detention is presumed to be a civilian object. It adds that, therefore, there is no credible evidence in this case that the prison constituted a lawful military objective.
