NCRI – The authorities in Iran have arrested a police officer for revealing the number of missing persons in the collapse of Tehran’s 17 story Plasco Building after a fire on 19 January 2017.
The police officer at Bahrestan Police Station in Tehran had been arrested for revealing the number of casualties of the disastrous fire in Tehran, according to the reports received from Tehran.
Quoting a police officer at Bahrestan Police Station, state-run news outlets in Iran had reported on 24 January 2017 that some 200 have been reported on missing persons in Plasco fire.
The reports quoted the officer as saying: “We have been very busy since morning. To be honest with you some 200 person have come to us up to know and declared someone missing in the fire. What a disaster has become. It is unbelievable that that many people have been trapped in the rubles… and no one knows about it.”
The authorities of the Iranian regime are not providing true figures on the number of those missing or killed during the fire that shocked Tehran residents.
The ruling regime and specifically the mullahs’ supreme leader Ali Khamenei are responsible for the harrowing deaths of all the people who got stuck under the rubbles.
Khamenei and his criminal regime have given absolute priority to the repressive apparatus at home and allocated exorbitant sums to export of terrorism and war to the Middle East, particularly to Syria, while Iranian cities are deeply vulnerable to such incidents and the urban aid services are powerless and held in primitive state.
