\"Iran,
Iran, Qom – new graves for casualties of coronavirus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New satellite images of\u00a0<\/span>mass graveyards in the Ira<\/span>nian city of Qom\u00a0<\/span>expose\u00a0<\/span>the regime\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>criminal cover-up of<\/span>\u00a0the\u00a0<\/span>coronavirus outbreak<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in Iran<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0According to the reports published by the\u00a0<\/span>People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran\u00a0<\/span>(PMOI, Mujahedin-e Khalq or MEK)<\/span><\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0over 3650 people have lost their lives to the spread of COVID-19<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Earlier reports and footages by the MEK <\/a>network from the\u00a0<\/span>c<\/span>ity of Qom\u00a0<\/span>had confirmed the existence of these graveyards, particularly the excavation of\u00a0<\/span>a new massive graveyard in Qom\u2019s cemetery<\/span>, dubbed the \u201cCrisis section.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A\u00a0<\/span>Washington Post article<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0published on\u00a0<\/span>March 12,<\/span>\u00a0with satellite images by the\u00a0<\/span>Maxar<\/span>\u00a0Technologies, confirm<\/span>s\u00a0<\/span>that despite the Iranian regime\u2019s criminal cover-up and downplaying\u00a0<\/span>of\u00a0<\/span>the number of victims of the coronavirus outbreak,\u00a0<\/span>the death toll is rapidly rising amid<\/span>\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0regime\u2019s inaction.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In<\/span>\u00a0its\u00a0<\/span>report<\/span><\/a>\u00a0published on Thursday<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The\u00a0<\/span>Washington Post wrote:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201c<\/span>At the\u00a0<\/span>Behesht<\/span>-e Masoumeh<\/span>\u00a0complex in Qom, about 80 miles\u00a0<\/span>south of Tehran, the excavation of a new section of the graveyard\u00a0<\/span>began<\/span>\u00a0as early as Feb. 2<\/span>1, satel<\/span>lite images show, and then rapidly expanded as the virus spread. By the end of the Month, two large trenches\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 their length totaling 100 yards \u2013 were visible at the site from space.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>According to<\/span>\u00a0expert analysis, vide testimony and official statements\u00a0<\/span>the graves were dug to accommodate the rising number of virus victims in Qom,\u201d read the report.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The imagery analyst also\u00a0<\/span>referred\u00a0<\/span>to<\/span>\u00a0an image showing what\u00a0<\/span>seems<\/span>\u00a0to be a large white pile of lime, which can be used to manage decay and odor in mass graves.\u00a0<\/span>The\u00a0<\/span>Iranian<\/span>\u00a0regime\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0health officials have in recent weeks confirmed the use of lime when burying coronavirus victims.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The regime’s lack of\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>proper response and a failure to quarantine the city of Qom, the epicenter of the Coronavirus infection, has caused the spread of C<\/span>OVID-<\/span>19 to at least 15 other countries\u00a0<\/span>that\u00a0<\/span>have identified Iranians or people who traveled to Iran as the source of the disease in their country.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In\u00a0<\/span>addition,\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>regime with\u00a0<\/span>its\u00a0<\/span>weeks-long cover-up in Qom, and failing to quarantine the city, which has a wide range of interactions with Tehran, not only bears responsibility for the lives of hundreds of deceased\u00a0<\/span>people\u00a0<\/span>in Qom, but has turned Tehran, Iran\u2019s most populous urban center, and its 9.7 million people into a killing ground<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This criminal cover-up was in order to have a larger turnout in its sham parliamentary election, which was met with a general boycott.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a blatant admission two days after the election, the regime’s Interior Minister,\u00a0<\/span>Abdolreza<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Rahmani<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Fazli<\/span>, said: “Some had recommended delaying the elections, and insisted on delaying elections in Qom. But I, as the official for the elections, refused to approve these recommendations.”\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Why was the Coronavirus outbreak in Qom overshadowed by the Majlis elections? Why was Qom not quarantined to prevent the spread of Coronavirus across the country?”\u00a0<\/span>asked<\/span>\u00a0Alireza Rahimi, a member of the Majlis (Parliament) leadership, according to\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0s<\/span>tate run\u00a0news agency ISNA on March 7.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

“Why was the #Coronavirus<\/a> outbreak in Qom overshadowed by the Majlis elections? Why was Qom not quarantined to prevent the spread of Coronavirus across the country?” questioned Alireza Rahimi, a member of the Majlis (Parliament) leadership, according to State-run ISNA #COVID19<\/a><\/p>\n
