Families of political prisoners celebrated Nowruz in front of Evin's walls

Families of political prisoners that are held in the infamous Evin prison in
Tehran celebrated the coming of the New Iranian year by conducting the age old New Year ceremonies outside of the prison walls amidst an unusual snowfall.

They set up the “Haft-Siin”( the Iranian New year’s ceremonial arrangement of Seven items, with their Persian names beginning with the Persian alphabet letter Siin equivalent with S in English, on a piece of precious cloth) in solidarity with their jailed loved ones.

This action resulted in great fear and concern of security amongst the prison officials. In an effort to minimize the probable consequences of the event, the prison officials rushed the political prisoners back inside the locked cells from the prison court yard and disconnected the telephone lines to outside of the prison. Fortunately the prisoners were somehow made aware of the events that were unfolding just beyond their prison walls.
