US state department calls for the release of all detained healthcare workers as at least one arrested surgeon reported to be at risk of execution
Doctors are being arrested in Iran for helping save the lives of some of the tens of thousands injured during Iran’s brutal crackdown on anti-regime protests, with at least one surgeon now at risk of being sentenced to death.
The arrests and death sentence are part of a campaign of “revenge”, say human rights groups, after healthcare workers and doctors refused to ignore the plight of badly injured protesters shot or stabbed at close range, and in some cases set up makeshift treatment centres.
An Iranian surgeon, Alireza Golchini, 52, from the central city of Qazvin, has been charged with “moharebeh” (waging war against God), which can carry the death penalty, according to the Norway-based rights group Hengaw. The US state department yesterday called for his release.
Not sure what this has to do with the regime change psyops campaign?
How many regimes that America is allies with inflict human rights abuses on their people? Do you know what the Savak did under the Shah?
Do you know what justice looks like for Palestinians in israel? Which is feted by the West and given weapons to.commit a genocide. Funny how no one is talking about air strikes gainst them
