Iran Judiciary rejects reports on denial of medical services to detained rioters
Iran’s Judiciary has dismissed certain reports claiming that detainees of the recent terrorist riots across the country who suffered from an acute illness or critical physical condition were transferred to prisons without receiving medical services.
"Prisoners suffering from acute illness, critical physical conditions, injuries, or trauma will not be admitted until their condition is stabilized and they have recovered,” the Judiciary said on Monday.
Such detainees will be transferred to a medical center by the relevant officials, it added.
Meanwhile, the General Directorate of Tehran prisons also said the admission of injured individuals or those in critical physical conditions into prison is in violation of the regulations of the country's State Prisons organization.
It added that the false claim regarding the transfer and detention of injured rioters in Fashafouyeh Prison in Tehran province instead of medical centers lacks any legal validity.
This came after certain narratives and news reports were published on the detentions by Persian-language media based outside Iran and social media platforms affiliated with monarchists and terrorist grouplets.
In all prisons in Iran, all prisoners without exception have access to medical services, free of charge and around the clock, and medical centers within prisons cannot be closed under any circumstances, according to Iran's Judiciary.
Therefore, the publication of such false reports by foreign-based media lacks credible documentation, is solely aimed at causing public anxiety and is also in direct contravention of regulations on healthcare services in prisons.
Late last month, economic hardships, caused and exacerbated by years of Western sanctions, triggered a wave of peaceful protests among merchants in Tehran and other cities.
Authorities recognized the protesters’ demands as legitimate, but the demonstrations were hijacked by rioters backed by American and Israeli leaders, who publicly called for vandalism and disorder.
Officials said that some of the mercenaries were armed, trained, and recruited by US and Israeli spy agencies to incite violence, damage public property, and kill civilians and members of security forces.
Iran’s Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs later reported that 3,117 people died during the unrest, including 2,427 civilians and security personnel, noting that many innocents were killed by organized terrorist elements.
