Iranian agents obstructed care at hospitals packed with wounded protesters
Armed agents obstructed care and detained at least 79 medical staff during protests with over 7,000 deaths confirmed, rights groups say.
- Plainclothes security agents swarmed hospitals in early January, blocking care and seizing wounded as security forces fired on crowds, verified by the AP.
- The government blamed armed, foreign-backed "terrorists" and denied interference, while Iran Human Rights Center and Amiry-Moghaddam described hospitals' militarization as systematic and unprecedented.
- Security agents blocked resuscitation attempts, filmed hospital staff, and removed bodies in black body bags while snipers fired at patients in Gorgan and phone lines were cut for 12 hours.
- Homa Fathi reported that since Jan. 9, at least 79 health care professionals were detained, around 30 released on bail, many facing charges, while doctors treated wounded in clandestine clinics.
- Reporting is hampered by internet restrictions, and the Human Rights Activists News Agency confirmed more than 7,000 deaths while the government acknowledges more than 3,000 killed, with Mnemonic archiving over 2 million documents.
