Prison 209 (in Persian: بازداشتگاه ۲۰۹), also known as ward 209 or section 209 of the Evin prison, is an unofficial and secret detention centre in Tehran, Iran, that operates under the administration of VAJA, the Islamic Republic of Iran's Ministry of Intelligence.
Like other covert detention centres such as Prison 59, prisoners are interrogated, in many cases tortured, held without charges, and subjected to solitary confinement.
