Talk:Evin Prison

Photo request
(I've removed the photo request as it's a bit of an ask. See article.)

If there isn't the ability to get a photo of the front of the building, is it possible to get an areial view? It would perhaps be better than nothing. 128.205.45.66 (talk) 21:58, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Abbas Edelat, John Shoop
I just removed this line:

The rescue of Abbas Edelat from this prison was orchestrated by United States Marine Corps Captain John Shoop.

Abbas Edelat was a redlink; John Shoop linked to the Raiders defensive coordinator (whose article did mentioned his time with the Chicago Bears, but not his time rescuing Islamic political prisoners). I searched Google for "Abbas Edelat" shoop -wikipedia and got only five hits, all of which seemed to be wikipedia mirrors that didn't give credit.

If a US Marine captain is planning extranational exfiltration operations into Iran, that's unusual enough. More unusual still would be the only mention of it on the internet being here. Unregistered editor at IP address 64.12.116.202, who made the edit, has been blocked enough times for vandalism that I can't assume good faith. If you have verifiable information, please replace this and source -- and maybe write a full article about it; sounds exciting. Deltopia 19:19, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Alot of POV in this article
I'm not even going to get into how POV the 3rd paragraph is with suggestions about the Iranian government, and allegations about an autopsy which has yet to be cited. But there is no need whatsoever to add that Hamid Pourmand was a Christian convert. It adds the tone that Christian converts are jailed in Iran, which is false, as there are a large amount of Christians living freely in Iran. The Da Vinci code was banned in Iran due to Christian objection, and there are churches. The fact this guy was a Christian convert has no relevance regarding his detainment.

Read the facts on the Hamid Pourmand case. He was jailed because he broke the law by converting to Christianity. Here's the citation for you, by the way.

This is a self-contradictory post. "It adds the tone that Christian converts are jailed in Iran, which is false ... He was jailed because he broke the law by converting to Christianity." Ummm, so let's see. It is false that Christian converts are jailed in Iran but it is against the law to convert to Christianity.

"Iran opens doors of feared Evin prison"
I suggest that some info from this article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070911/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iran_detained_american;_ylt=AsqXVkn8s_F0r28tFrMKKngLewgF be merged into the wiki page.128.131.54.146 13:30, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Taraneh Mousavi in Evin?
The only source for Taraneh Mousavi being in Evin Prison is an unsourced blog entry by Shirin Sadeghi.

The original sources on this story make no mention of her having been imprisoned there, and she seems to have made this charge up out of thin air.

And this, in addition to grave doubts that this story has any basis in fact in the first place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by QLineOrientalist (talk • contribs) 21:06, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe
Since there is already a Wikipedia article about Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, and her case is one of the more notable ones, she should be included in the list of those currently imprisoned at Evin.
