Guterres<\/p>\n<p>United Nations Secretary-General<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations<\/p>\n<p>New York, NY 10017<\/p>\n<p>Dear Secretary-General,<\/p>\n<p>The spread of the coronavirus has raised significant worry among people all over the world. Transparency, timely communication, and adoption of necessary measures all play a significant role in preventing the further spread of this pandemic (COVID-19).<\/p>\n<p>We, Nobel laureates, wish to guide your attention to an extremely urgent catastrophe currently unfolding in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>There are various reports that indicate that the clerical dictatorship ruling Iran has engaged in a cover-up, preventing the free flow of crucial information about the spread of coronavirus in that country. It covered up the truth in support of its political motives and agenda, including its intention to draw as many people out as possible so they attend its sham parliamentary elections and the anniversary of the 1979 revolution, which included street marches. As a result of the regime&#8217;s inaction, there has been a serious lack of preventive measures to control and ward off the spread of the novel coronavirus in Iran. For example, according to experts, the initial epicenter of the virus outbreak, the central city of Qom, was not quarantined, due to the regime&#8217;s parochial political considerations.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of all this, COVID-19 has aggressively spread death and infections across Iran. At the time of writing, at least 6,500 coronavirus-related fatalities have resulted in Iran, according to the reports released by the PMOI-MEK, the Iranian opposition. While expressing our sympathy with the people of Iran, we express our sincere gratitude for the round-the-clock efforts of Iranian doctors, nurses and medical staff. They are providing care to patients despite significant challenges. Sadly, some have lost their lives after contracting the virus themselves while caring for patients.<\/p>\n<p>The situation of prisoners, particularly political prisoners, is dire. According to reports by prisoners, a number of them have contracted the virus. Yet prison officials do not even allow prisoners to obtain medicine from their own families.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Washington Post, the Iranian regime is building coronavirus burial pits so vast they\u2019re visible from space.<\/p>\n<p>Just as was the case with the 1,500 killed in a matter of a few days by the suppressive forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) during the November 2019 uprising, the primary party responsible for the growing deaths in Iran as a result of the coronavirus is none other than the clerical regime. On March 3, 2020, Amnesty International reported that 23 minors had been murdered by the regime during the November protests.<\/p>\n<p>We are asking for your urgent intervention in the situation that is unfolding in Iran, as a means of preventing the further expansion of this catastrophe. We request that, with the help of the international community, all of the medical resources and treatment be taken out of IRGC&#8217;s control and instead be allocated to treatment and prevention efforts that can halt further spread of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>Through your office, we ask the World Health Organization and human rights organizations to visit Iranian prisons and take steps to save the lives and protect the health of prisoners in order to prevent another massacre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>21&nbsp;Nobel&nbsp;laureates from US, Canada, Germany, and Norway in a letter to&nbsp;the&nbsp;United&nbsp;Nations&rsquo;&nbsp;Secretary-General Antonio Guterres&nbsp;while condemning the&nbsp;Iranian regime&lsquo;s catastrophic&nbsp;cover-up of the&nbsp;coronavirus outbreak&nbsp;which&nbsp;has resulted in the deaths of thousands of Iranians&nbsp;and described it [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":214603,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[186],"class_list":{"0":"post-214602","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-coronavirus"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
