The Peoples Mojahedin Organization of Iran announced on Monday that 14,200 people have lost their lives to Coronavirus in 236 cities across Iran. Mustafa Moin, head of the regime's Supreme Council of the Medical System and former Ministry of Science, Research and Technology in Rafsanjani and Khatami’s cabinets, wrote to Hassan Rouhani: “The losses of a large number of the medical community, as well as the higher mortality of patients compared to other countries, will always remain as a shame.” He warned, “pretending that the situation is normal and creating a false sense of security under the pretext of avoiding anxiety and stress could be dangerous, and the consequences of stress are far less than the sudden exposure to a human catastrophe.” Iran: Another Rebellion at Prison in Ahvaz Amid Coronavirus Outbreak On March 30, prisoners in Ahvaz Prison attempted to escape in fear of the coronavirus.
