Kahrizak Detention Center

Kahrizak Detention Center is a facility in Iran known for human rights abuses, particularly during the 2009 protests. It gained notoriety due to reports of torture, mistreatment, and deaths of detainees held there. The center attracted international condemnation for its inhumane conditions and lack of accountability. It operates under the Iranian authorities and has been a symbol of government suppression of political dissent. Efforts to reform or close the facility have been ongoing, but it remains a significant focal point in discussions about human rights and justice in Iran.
