Mullahs’ official makes shocking admission on the number of prisoners in Iran

The head of the southern Fars Province's prisons, Nasser Jafar-Qoli, made a shocking admission on the number of prisoners in Iran. “The rate of growth in prison population is nine percent. This figure is higher than the total rate of population growth in Iran. It is an alarming sign for the leaders of the country,” he told the state-run news agency Fars on January 16.

The rate of growth in prison population in Iran is unprecedented and not matched anywhere else in the world. The actual rise in the number of prisoners is much higher than the official figure. It does not include the countless arrests in the streets, temporary detentions and prisoners who are in limbo. The figure corresponds to the victims who have been prosecuted and convicted.
