\"Coronavirus
Coronavirus widespread outbreak in Iran<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On Monday,\u00a0<\/span>t<\/span>he People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI, Mujahedin-e Khalq or MEK)<\/a> announced that as of 8:00 pm local time, over 1000 people<\/a> diagnosed with COVID-19 have lost their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Reports from Canada, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates,\u00a0<\/span>Azerbaijan<\/span>, Iraq, Lebanon, Georgia, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia have declared that those diagnosed with the Coronavirus were either Iranians or coming back from Iran.\u00a0 This clearly confirms that the Coronavirus outbreak in Iran is indeed an international crisis, which needs an international action.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the spread of the Coronavirus, the regime has deliberately avoided distributing preventive medical resources and equipment which are essentially in the possession of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)<\/a> and regime officials. Instead, they either dedicate the equipment to themselves or sell them on the black market. The state media have acknowledged that such equipment is sometimes sold at 10 times the actual price.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to its cover-up, the regime either arrests or intimidates those who tell the truth about the dimensions of this deadly crisis. For example, Dr. Abdolreza Fazel, Head of Golestan University of Medical Sciences<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0said: \u201cWe’ve been crying since day one that we have 594 Coronavirus patients, but the Ministry of Health was saying since you have no positive test, we are not giving you the necessary facilities!\u00a0<\/span>Then\u00a0<\/span>suddenly they announce<\/span>d<\/span>\u00a0that we have become\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>epicenter of\u00a0<\/span>the Coronavirus<\/a><\/span>.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#Iran<\/a>
Head of Golestan’s Medical Sciences University:
“I have been saying since day one that we have 594 coronavirus patients\u2026 Yet the Health Ministry would reply no\u2026 They kept on telling us to wait. Then one day they said you are a [COVID-19] epicenter…”#CoronaOutbreak<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ZMypdrX5EQ<\/a><\/p>\n

Another local report by a citizen from Hashtgerd, northern Iran<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0said: \u201cNone of the pharmacies have gloves, masks, rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizing gels. Authorities, especially plainclothes agents, have all the pharmacies and clinics under close supervision. Even the city\u2019s medical center is taking no measures in this regard. All store owners who have closed-circuit cameras have been ordered to inform authorities if anyone is seen taking footages.\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>he state police are going around downloading all the footage of closed-circuit cameras in stores across the city.\u201d Now shocking footages from Iran shows\u00a0<\/span>m<\/span>any people in Iran passing out\u00a0<\/span>on\u00a0<\/span>the streets due to\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>coronavirus and the regime’s inaction.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reports from prisons across Iran indicate the spread of the COVID-19 among prisoners. This includes Greater Tehran (Fashafouyeh), Evin, Gohardasht,\u00a0<\/span>Ghezel-Hesar<\/span>, Central Karaj, Urmia,\u00a0<\/span>Shiban<\/span>-Ahvaz and Kashan prisons.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The regime fearing possible public outrage\u00a0<\/span>over\u00a0<\/span>its inaction, alongside with its ongoing criminal cover-up and downplaying\u00a0<\/span>of\u00a0<\/span>the Coronavirus outbreak, has mobilized its suppressive forces around the country to suppress possible protests.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An international crisis\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The current COVID-19 crisis in Iran<\/a> is not limited to the Iranian people<\/span>, and Iran has become the epicenter\u00a0<\/span>of the\u00a0<\/span>spread<\/span>\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0the virus to\u00a0<\/span>other countries around the world<\/span>. In this regard, the New York Times wrote on February 28<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0\u201cInfections in neighboring countries and even some as far as Canada, Norway and New Zealand have been traced to Iran.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>The\u00a0<\/span>Associated Press also reported: \u201cAll of Bahrain\u2019s cases link back to Iran.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Iranian regime is neither capable nor willing to control the Coronavirus outbreak. This virus, if not controlled or contained, will affect other countries and will not be limited to Iranian borders.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, as Mrs. Maryam<\/a><\/span>\u00a0Rajavi<\/span><\/a>, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)<\/a><\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0said: \u201cThe United Nations, World Health Organization, and other international human rights organizations must compel the religious fascism ruling Iran to make public all the facts and figures regarding COVID-19 and provide them to relevant international organizations in order to save the lives of the people of Iran and other countries in the region.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I call on the World Health Organization to document all the facts and figures on the extent of the #Coronavirus<\/a> in #Iran<\/a> and put it at the disposal of the public and relevant international organizations to save the lives of the people of Iran and other countries. #IWD2020<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/iChU0xwzqh<\/a><\/p>\n
