in 444 Cities Exceeds 110,700 Over 110,700 people have died of the novel coronavirus in 444 cities checkered across all of Iran\u2019s 31 provinces, according to reports tallied by the Iranian opposition People&#039;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran as of Sunday afternoon local time. The official death count declared by the regime stands at 25,589, around a fifth of the actual figure. Regime Health Minister Saied Namaki acknowledges that flights to China should have been stopped back in the fall of last year. \u201cIn the latter months of the fall season in 2019 when we received the Covid-19 report from China I realized we will have problems. When I raised the issue of stopping flights to and from China, some people looked at us in very na\u00efve fashion,\u201d he said on Sunday, according to IRNA. Deputy Health Minister Iraj Harirchi said Tehran\u2019s schools will be closed for one week. \u201cIn the third Covid-19 wave the number of new cases and patients hospitalized is far more than the first and second waves,\u201d he said on Saturday. \u201cThe number of deaths in some provinces is unprecedented and far more than previous numbers. Our main concern is Tehran province. If provincial officials deem necessary, the one-week closure of schools and universities will be extended,\u201d he added, according to the Mehr news agency, an outlet affiliated to the Ministry of Intelligence &amp; Security. Iran: Political Prisoner Denied Medical Care in Evin Prison Political prisoner Hadiseh Sabouri is denied medical care in the women\u2019s ward of Evin Prison and is deprived of being visited in a civic medical center. She suffers from various illnesses. Specifically, she underwent a GI surgery in 2015 when part of her intestine was removed. Ms. Sabouri was arrested during the protests in Tehran in August 2018. She was initially taken to the notorious women\u2019s detention center in Vozara Avenue. Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court of Tehran sentenced her to two years of suspended jail term on the charge of disrupting public security. Iran: Defiant Youth Target Regime\u2019s Court in Shiraz In the early hours of Sunday, in protest against the criminal execution of Navid Afkari, the Iranian national wrestling champion, the defiant youth targeted the court in Shiraz, which issued his death sentence and set fire to its entrance. The execution of Navid Afkari, arrested for participating in the 2018 uprising, led to a wave of international and domestic condemnation. In the past two weeks, defiant youth in various cities, including in Shiraz, Navid\u2019s hometown, wrote graffiti and distributed leaflets condemning Afkari\u2019s execution and the execution sentences for other detained protesters.
