Tehran, Aug. 19 – From the Grapevine…

Cleric Massih Mottalebi, congregation leader of Gohardash Prison in Karaj, west of Tehran, is responsible for the entry of narcotics into the prison.

His involvement has become common knowledge among prisoners. Inmates who oppose his actions are transferred to other prisons.
 
So widespread is the entry of narcotics into the prison that the smell of opium fills the air in most hallways and common areas throughout the day, sources say. Many prisoners, especially those who are downtrodden, have become addicted.
