The Revolutionary Guards’ Brutal Attack on the hospital in Ilam and the kidnapping of the wounded in the Malekshahi massacre<\/h3>\n

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>:\u00a0 “Attacking the hospital and kidnapping the wounded is an unforgivable crime. The world must not remain silent in the face of crimes against humanity.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Sunday, January 4, 2026\u2014the eighth day of the nationwide uprising and the day after the brutal Malekshahi massacre\u2014henchmen of the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, stormed Khomeini Hospital in Ilam. This grave crime and violation of international conventions was carried out to abduct wounded protesters who had been hospitalized after being shot by the same perpetrators.<\/p>\n

The repressive forces fired tear gas inside the hospital. They were met with courageous resistance from the medical staff, as well as from people and young individuals present, who attempted to block their entry into the wards where patients were being treated. To protect the lives of the wounded, doctors and nurses closed the ward doors and tried to prevent the mercenaries from gaining access.<\/p>\n

Upon learning of this criminal act, residents of Ilam and rebellious youth quickly gathered around the hospital and confronted the mercenaries, chanting \u201cDishonorable! Dishonorable!\u201d in an effort to prevent the transfer of the wounded. In response, the Revolutionary Guards opened indiscriminate fire on the people and the hospital.<\/p>\n

During this brutal raid, many of the wounded, their family members, and people who had gathered in support were arrested. The families of the wounded and members of the Lak tribes have warned that they will take up arms if their loved ones are not released.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), described the attack on the hospital in Ilam as an unforgivable crime, stating: \u201cKhamenei, in a desperate attempt to confront the nationwide uprising of the Iranian people, is seeking to suppress the protests with extreme brutality and cruelty, but this will only further fuel the flames of the uprising.\u201d She called on the people and youth of neighboring provinces to stand in solidarity with the people of Ilam and urged the international community not to remain silent in the face of crimes against humanity committed by the religious fascism ruling Iran.<\/p>\n
