Then, it was used as a prison for women, and later on, it was called Anti-sabotage Joint Committee. During the reign of the Pahlavi dynasty, people who were against the rulers were interrogated and tortured in this prison.
Political prisoners were brutally tortured with a wide range of tools and tactics.
Hanging from the ceiling, burning body with lighter and candle, and electroshock weapon are a few of the means for torturing prisoners.
The prison was shut in 2000 and changed to a museum for the memories of those kept, tortured, and executed there.
Following are some photos of the museum:
