Iran is using ambulances to infiltrate protests and detain people, according to witnesses and videos reviewed by The New York Times. The tactic, which experts say violates medical impartiality norms, shows how far the state has gone to quell the protests. https://t.co/0oGix4qhyp

His name is #ParsaGhobadi, 18, who was shot by pellet bullets in Kermanshah during protests. Like 100s of other protesters, he lost his eyes due to severe injuries. His family has appealed to people worldwide “not to forget” such crimes. #MahsaAmini #مهسا_امینی #IranRevoIution

While organisations like @FredHollows @EndBlindness @SandyDGreenberg @HopkinsMedicine aim to eliminate #blindness, hundreds of young protesters in Iran are blinded by metal pellets and rubber bullets with mutilated retinas, severed optic nerves and punctured irises. #retina @UN

Farabi Eye Hospital, with country’s premier ophthalmology ward, has been especially strained by the surge in cases. In one three-week period last month, the hospital saw more than 150 patients. The deluge of traumatic cases has prompted at least one surgeon to resign in protest.

more than 230 ophthalmologists have signed a joint letter published this week addressed to the president of the Iranian Ophthalmology Association, Dr. Mahmod Jabbarvand, calling on him to make the “irreparable consequences of such severe injuries” known to the government.
