On Monday, a group of Iranian MPs visited the notorious Evin prison, Iran's biggest jail for political prisoners.
Unlike the political prisoners, most of which were arrested after 2009. and which in recent years have complained about the abuses in the Evinprison, an MP said that after this tour that he now only about "Hotel Evin" would speak.
Last month, 20 prisoners wrote an open letter to the head of the prison in which they criticised him for allegedly not letting sick inmates receive proper treatment.
