Tens of thousands of Iranians are being held in “black box” detention sites<\/a> with no judicial oversight, official records, and no way for families to confirm whether their loved ones are alive, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The facilities \u2014 which the National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a> (NCRI) says are modeled on prison camps from the 1980s \u2014 have sparked alarm among human rights advocates amid unrest across the country.<\/p>\n

“These sites were initially used in the 1980s in Iran and were residential compounds inside Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj, west of Tehran,” he added.<\/p>\n

“Female prisoners affiliated with MEK (Mujahedin-e Khalq) were confined and subjected to torture,” he added, describing how women were “forced to live in coffin-like boxes or sit in squatting positions, deprived of sleep and food.”<\/p>\n

“If they spoke, they were beaten. We have heard that similar prisons are being used today that operate outside the formal Iranian prison system,” he said.<\/p>\n

Iranian authorities have reportedly been using these unofficial detention sites for interrogation during the protests, where detainees are held without registration or access to legal counsel.<\/p>\n

The Center for Human Rights in Iran<\/a> (CHRI) described the facilities as “among the gravest concerns documented” by the organization.<\/p>\n

In a new report, CHRI warned that when detainees are removed from the formal prison system<\/a>, they effectively disappear into these sites.<\/p>\n

There is no paper trail and no legal supervision, leaving individuals highly vulnerable to abuse.<\/p>\n

CHRI said the risk of torture, coerced confessions, sexual abuse and deaths in custody inside these facilities is extreme.<\/p>\n

Outside the facilities, families are often left traumatized after having to spend days outside courts and prisons that deny holding their children, the report said.<\/p>\n

“The precise locations of these black box sites are unknown, which is part of their function,” Safavi said.<\/p>\n

“This ensures total isolation and no access or contact. Agents inside are able to employ whatever methods they choose, much like at Ghezel Hesar Prison in the 1980s,” he explained.<\/p>\n

“The clandestine sites eliminate witnesses and prevent documentation that could lead to leaks,” Safavi said.<\/p>\n

The findings come amid reports of escalating executions in Iran<\/a> following recent protests, during which thousands of people were killed at the hands of the clerical regime.<\/p>\n

The Human Rights Activists News Agency<\/a> (HRANA) reported Monday that at least 17 prisoners were executed across Iran over a two-day period.<\/p>\n

The CHRI report came as Iranians living in exile gathered in Europe to protest against the regime and as others commemorated the 40th day since the Jan. 2026 uprising.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the HANA Human Rights Organization said that at least 24 children, including a 3-year-old, were killed by direct fire from security forces during nationwide protests<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
