Eyewitness: The Iranian regime bring tourists to Iran’s coronavirus epicenter

An eyewitness reports. The Iranian regime claims it is fighting the coronavirus outbreak in Iran. Ironically, it brings tourists from foreign countries to Iran’s coronavirus epicenter Qom! The eyewitness: “Busses of tourists have arrived from God knows where to visit the Hazrat Masoumeh Shrine. They have masks and are all foreigners. It’s interesting that [local and government officials] are denying these reports, saying we have no tourists at all. You see Pakistani and Indian tourists are boarding the busses. They are coronavirus hosts while [officials and the government] are telling us that all places should be closed, and everyone should stay home. They close people’s shops. So, who are these people? We don’t know where they have come from. This is how they want to defeat coronavirus!”

I was summoned eight times during the [Nowruz] vacation period. and I have to stand trial because I said the truth. If I’m not alive tomorrow it’s not because of infection with COVID-19, accident, etc. For your information I am quite healthy and have no problem,” he said.

Role of Iranian women in combating coronavirus outbreak despite cover-up

The NCRI Women’s Committee Monthly Report, February-March 2020 has a glance on the Iranian regime’s treacherous policy towards the people of Iran by covering up the scale of the coronavirus outbreak in the country for a month before starting to inform the public.

The regime also refused to quarantine and lockdown the epicenter of the virus, Qom. It also continued its flights back and forth to China and did not stop travel abroad by Iranian citizens despite the outbreak. In this way, the Iranian regime helped spread the virus throughout the country and even abroad.
