Iran: Coronavirus Death Toll Reaches 12,400 in 228 Cities
On Friday the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran announced that the Coronavirus death toll has surpassed 12,400 victims in 228 cities across the country. Medical sources in Gilan have reported the death of 40 patients, including two nurses in Astara. NCRI’s Committee on Security and Counterterrorism has obtained documents from the regime’s Emergency Organization, making it palpably clear that Rouhani’s claim about learning of the Coronavirus cases in Qom on February 19 and that he had immediately informed the public is utterly false. According to these documents, a significant number of infected patients had been hospitalized not only in Qom but also in Tehran in late January. Iran: Rebellion in Saqqez Prison, Prisoners Escape On Friday, prisoners in the Saqqez Prison in Kurdistan rebelled in protest against the mullahs’ refusal to release them amid the Coronavirus outbreak. Many prisoners managed to escape after clashes with the IRGC forces and prison guards. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran again warned of a major humanitarian catastrophe in the regime’s medieval prisons and called for immediate action by the international community to secure the release hundreds of thousands of prisoners, especially political prisoners. Two Female Prisoners Die in Qarchak Prison Due to COVID-19 Most inmates of Evin Prison and Qarchak Prison for women remain in jail in horrible hygienic conditions after the outbreak of the coronavirus in prisons. They are not granted temporary leaves. Around March 20, two female prisoners infected with the coronavirus died in solitary confinement due to lack of medical care. The lifeless bodies of these prisoners have been transferred out of prison to be buried.
