According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency in Iran (HRANA), the majority of security-political prisoners are being held in ward number 7 of Evin prison. Some are being held in wards 4 and 8 as well.
HRANA is trying to periodically update and release these types of lists.
Previously, HRANA had released the names of prisoners with mainly espionage charges in ward number 7 of Evin prison.
The majority of those prisoner are going to be prosecuted and put on trial under article 501 (espionage) and article 508 (being in contact with conflicting governments) of Islamic Penal Act.
