Prince Pahlavi's warning message to medical staff amid bloody crackdown on protesters

In the current situation in Iran, Prince Pahlavi sent a warning message to the medical staff and doctors who are at the peak of repression and humanitarian crisis in Iran.

As the crackdown on nationwide protests in Iran intensifies, numerous reports have been published of the arrest of doctors and medical staff for treating those injured in the protests; an action that human rights organizations describe as a clear violation of humanitarian and medical obligations and an extension of repression to the country's healthcare system.

Informed sources say that several doctors and nurses in different cities of Iran have been arrested by security agencies after treating those injured in the protests. According to these reports, government forces have been present in hospitals and medical centers, identifying the injured and pressuring medical staff, a process that has spread an atmosphere of fear and insecurity even to medical centers.

In such circumstances, Prince Reza Pahlavi issued a message to doctors, nurses, and medical staff, warning them about the current situation and appreciating their role in saving the lives of the injured. He wrote in his message: "My message is to the community of doctors, nurses, and medical staff. A large number of our compatriots have been injured by the Islamic regime in the fight for the liberation of the homeland. Numerous reports show that government agents and mercenaries stationed in hospitals and clinics identify the injured and hand them over to the repression apparatus.

Medical staff, medical centers, and hospitals, despite unprecedented dangers, threats, and pressures, have played an important role in treating the wounded of the revolution, far from the dirty eyes and hands of the regime's mercenaries. I sincerely thank all of you for adhering to your professional oath, your human conscience, and your national duty, and I ask you to continue this valuable effort with redoubled determination.

Collect the names of those who are obstructing the treatment of the wounded of the national revolution and collaborating with the suppression apparatus, so that their crimes and betrayal can be addressed at the appropriate time.

The occupying Iranian regime has imposed an unequal war on our nation and committed crimes against humanity with naked and brutal violence. Together and side by side, we will overcome this great tragedy and create a free, bright, and secure future for our homeland and nation.

"The stalwart of Iran, Reza Pahlavi."

The arrest of doctors and pressure on hospitals come at a time when, according to international law and fundamental principles of medical ethics, treating the injured without discrimination is an unsuspicious duty. However, reports indicate that the Iranian government is attempting to block the path to help injured protesters by securitizing treatment.

Human rights activists have warned that this trend could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe, where the injured, fearing arrest, refuse to seek medical attention and die.

In a situation where streets, prisons, and now hospitals have become fields of repression, Prince Reza Pahlavi's message to medical staff is not only an expression of gratitude, but also a political and humanitarian warning about the depth of Iran's current crisis; a crisis in which even saving human lives is considered a crime.
