"This detention center was built to house dangerous criminals. Housing people related to recent riots caused an outbreak of diseases," official news agency IRNA quoted Moghaddam as saying. Protesters "died of viral illness and not as a result of beating," he added, according to another news agency, the semiofficial Fars.

Iran's Prosecutor General Ghorban Ali Dorri Najafabadi called for those responsible for mistreating detainees to be punished for "violations and carelessness," IRNA reported.

He said there was an order not to take protesters to Kahrizak but it was ignored. Human rights groups have identified at least three protesters they say died after being detained at Kahrizak.

"Unfortunately, negligence and carelessness by some officials caused the Kahrizak incident, which is not defendable," IRNA quoted Najafabadi as saying. "During early days, it is possible there were mistakes and mistreatment due to overcrowding in the prison," he added.
