Iranian doctors and health professionals rallied in Tehran and several other cities, protesting the regime’s denial of medical care to wounded individuals during the nationwide Iran protests and authorities’ deliberate negligence in curing wounded arrestees. The clerical regime responded more violently, attacking doctors and nurses and killing Dr. Parisa Bahmani.
The murder triggered outrage among Iranians at home and abroad. The President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, strongly condemned this crime.
I extend my condolences to the family of Dr. Parisa Bahmani & the medical community
The regime leaders' heinous crimes will soon be answered by the freedom of the Iranian people, especially by the brave women who have become their nightmare#IranRevolution #WomenForce4Change— Maryam Rajavi (@Maryam_Rajavi) October 29, 2022
On Wednesday, October 26, security forces attacked the medical professionals’ protest in Tehran, beating protesters, including Dr. Moyed Aalawian, head of Tehran’s Medical System Organization. Dr. Alawian and his deputy resigned shortly after in protest of the security force’s brutality.
Doctors and medical professionals were also beaten, and some were arrested in other cities. Since the protests erupted in Iran, Iranian physicians have issued several statements protesting the presence of security agents in hospitals and clinics, violating the rights of wounded protesters.

Protests have been continuing in Iran for the past seven weeks. Initially sparked due to the tragic death of a young girl in police custody, demonstrations soon morphed into a nationwide uprising, and many spectators consider there is a revolution in the making in Iran.
The Iranian regime has inflicted violence on unarmed civilians to quash widespread protests. According to reports tallied by the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), over 450 protesters have been killed so far, and more than twenty-five thousand have been arrested.
Systemically resorting to lies and smear campaigns, state officials have painted protesters as deceived youth who merely act on emotions rather than reason. But the expansion of the nationwide uprising to other social criteria, e.g., medical practitioners and lawyers who are risking their lives to demand freedom, is outrightly disparaging the regime’s propaganda machine.
Videos and reports from Iran indicate that the security forces use ambulances to transfer arrested protesters or deploy reinforcements to quash demonstrations. In many cases, people freed the arrestees by attacking the ambulances.

Authorities also search hospitals to find those wounded during protests and take them to prisons. Therefore, many wounded protesters are forced to stay at home as going to a hospital is a risk.
Abdollah Mohammadpour, a 16-year-old boy from Urmia, was wounded by a bullet in protests and transferred to his home. Security forces later found Abdollah and abducted him, handing his dead body a few days later.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), also expressed his concerns about the Iranian people’s lack of access to medical care.
“Very worried about rising fatalities and injuries to protesters and other civilians in Iran. It’s essential that unfettered access to health care is provided to those in need, including the appropriate use of medical vehicles, facilities, and the ability of health workers to help patients,” he wrote on his Twitter account.

The Iranian regime has resorted to maximum violence in a bid to quash the nationwide uprising. Brave Iranians are continuing their protests with the aim of regime change. While the clerical regime clings to anything to save its ominous rule, the world community should not neglect its moral and legal duties to help Iranians. Based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Iranian people are entitled to the right of self-defense and self-determination of their future. The international community should recognize these rights.
