The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 46,207, nearly a fourth of the actual figure. Minoo Mohraz, a member of the National Covid-19 Task Force, weighed in on the Health Ministry\u2019s use of \u201ceffective traditional medicine\u201d in curing Covid-19. \u201cHere they have made people used to home-made medicines and unfortunately this is dangerous. The reason is we do not know what the herbal substance is they are using in their traditional medicine. Those who have launched this process have veered traditional medicine in the wrong direction,\u201d she said on Tuesday. \u201cThis traditional medicine that is taught in medicine schools by professionals must be separated from home-made practices. We do not accept these makeshift medical practices. Furthermore, Iran\u2019s experts should do more research on the impact of their medicines and trek forward with the correct methodology,\u201d Mohraz continued, according to the state-run Khabar Fouri website. Prison Officials\u2019 Cover-up Leads to Death of Inmates Due to COVID-19 At least seven prisoners have died in Evin Prison in Tehran due to COVID-19 since November 21. But on the regime\u2019s Judiciary\u2019s orders, the Prison\u2019s Organization and Evin Prison\u2019s warden are trying to conceal this development. The dead were in wards seven and eight. According to reports, four of the victims died in the quarantine section of Evin Prison\u2019s ward eight (where inmates with financial charges are being held), and the other three died in ward seven, where mostly political prisoners are being held. The number of victims might exceed this figure. On November 22, after prisoners saw the dead bodies, Evin phone service was cut off for a few hours to prevent the inmates from spreading the news of the deaths outside. Last month, four prisoners in Evin\u2019s ward four tested positive for the virus. At the time, the prison\u2019s clinic had told the ill patients, \u201cWe will not test you for COVID-19 because it is obvious that your tests are going to be positive. So, go to your ward and rest.\u201d Swedish-Iranian Academic Faces Imminent Execution The wife of Iranian-Swedish medical doctor Ahmad Reza Jalali who has been sentenced to death in Iran for alleged espionage said her husband is going to be taken to Rajaie Shahr Prison for execution. The scientist has been held in Evin\u2019s solitary confinement cell in recent days and was told that he would be executed soon. According to Amnesty International, Jalali\u2019s sentence will be carried out a week from November 24. Mr. Jalali, a disaster medicine researcher who had been based in Sweden, was arrested in April 2016 while visiting Iran to attend a scientific conference at the invitation of Tehran University.
