US state department calls for the release of all detained healthcare workers as at least one arrested surgeon reported to be at risk of execution
Doctors are being arrested in Iran for helping save the lives of some of the tens of thousands injured during Iran’s brutal crackdown on anti-regime protests, with at least one surgeon now at risk of being sentenced to death.
The arrests and death sentence are part of a campaign of “revenge”, say human rights groups, after healthcare workers and doctors refused to ignore the plight of badly injured protesters shot or stabbed at close range, and in some cases set up makeshift treatment centres.
An Iranian surgeon, Alireza Golchini, 52, from the central city of Qazvin, has been charged with “moharebeh” (waging war against God), which can carry the death penalty, according to the Norway-based rights group Hengaw. The US state department yesterday called for his release.
This is what America is going to be like soon.
Not to sound selfish and overlook Iran’s people… But it really feel like this it going to happen in USA.
Americans have guns.
It will be a lot harder to gun down their friends and families in the streets when they can fight back and shoot from the shadows.
Soon? We don’t even let our medical professionals treat the wounded. We’re leading the charge for fascism.
It will. And our government will still pretend to care about Iranians’ rights while doing the same shit to us.
ICE:
Unfortunately, they aren’t the only ones who have gone after medical personnel.
Behavior that must be condemned regardless of who is going it.
Israel just kills them and calls them terrorists then buries them and their vehicles in unmarked graves.

I’ll get downvoted for this but it needs to be said that Western media can’t be trusted on it’s reporting in Iran.
There is a major psyops campaign in Europe and the US to manufacture consent for regime change.
I’d be interested to hear what your down-voters think that western media can be trusted on?
They can be trusted to be stenographers for neocons, apparently.
I’m getting fed up with Lemmy. The Zionists and their bots have moved in en masse. Its the reason I left Reddit.
Its depressing seeing the pearl clutching liberals who sat through israels genocide suddenly becoming deeply concerned at a Mossad engineered insurrection.
The Jewish supremacists are right to laugh at us. We are sheep. https://youtu.be/dKie9MeE9rc
