TEHRAN – Iran’s minister of justice said on Saturday that Evin Prison in northern Tehran will probably turn into a temporary detention center.

Mostafa Pourmohammadi said although Evin inmates are planned to be transferred outside Tehran, the facility is needed as a temporary detention center to be used before suspects are given a final sentence, ICANA reported.

45 foreign ambassadors on Wednesday took a tour of the prison organized by the Human Rights Headquarters affiliated to the Judiciary.
