People of Shiraz! Come to Khalili Hospital to appeal for my eye surgery

Hossein Hosseinpour asked the people of Shiraz to go to Khalili Hospital on Sunday to appeal for his eye surgery.

Hossein Hosseinpour is one of the hundreds of young people who were shot in the eye by officers during the Mahabad protests and lost his sight. He wrote on his Instagram page: “I still feel the pain of the bullet in my eye.”

Hussein's doctor had told him that there was no hope of seeing again and that he could only avoid having his eyes drained or that a donor eye could be found for him to replace his own.

Hussein is scheduled for surgery, but he recently found out that his name has been crossed off the list of people waiting for eye surgery. He tweeted on his Twitter account: "You took my eye and now you won't allow the surgery. You keep saying the same thing and now you've crossed my name off the list. My eye hurts so much and I can't stand being in any light."

Hours ago, Hossein Hosseinpour published another post on his personal social media pages and addressed the people of Shiraz, writing: "I ask you, dear people of Shiraz, to be present in front of Khalili Hospital on Sunday, May 14, at 2:00 PM, and ask the hospital to be accountable for canceling my eye surgery. They say I should pray that someone dies so they can give me their eye. This is not a convincing answer to me. I want to know why only my name should be crossed off the waiting list for surgery."

Hussein asked not only the people of Shiraz but also the people of Iran for help in demanding justice for the people who were killed and those who lost their eyes in the protests, not to remain silent and to continue on their path to victory.
