Inmates at Iran's Evin Prison were blindfolded and handcuffed before being dragged and beaten by baton-wielding guards, Amnesty International said in a report released Thursday. \"Security officials responded with an appalling level of brutality to the protest at Evin prison, dragging them along the floor and verbally insulting them,\" said Said Boumedouha, Amnesty's deputy director for the Middle East and **rth Africa. Amnesty said its report, \"Justice is an Alien Word: ill treatment of political prisoners in Evin Prison,\" documented that dozens of inmates at the jail's Section 350 were subjected to assault, beatings and other ill-treatment. Iran on Wednesday said an official inquiry would probe claims that guards at Section 350, which houses political prisoners, had acted improperly.
