Medical professionals in Iran are arrested after treating wounded protesters.
Dr. Baba (Hossein) Zarabian, Isfahan
Dr Alireza Rezaei, Tehran
Matin Moradian,RN, Mashhad
Dr Saber Dehghan, Sirjan
Dr Farhad Nadali, Gorgan
Dr Ameneh Soleimani, Ardebil
And many more.
Be their voice!
UPDATE: Reports indicate a growing crackdown on medical professionals in Iran, doctors and healthcare workers arrested after treating wounded protesters.
Among those named:
Dr Alireza Rezaei, urologist, Tehran
Matin Moradian, healthcare worker, Mashhad
Dr Saber Dehghan, neurosurgeon, Sirjan
Dr Farhad Nadali, a general surgeon in Gorgan
Dr Ameneh Soleimani in Ardebil
Colleagues are being detained not for violence, but for providing care and, reportedly, for documenting injuries. This pattern suggests an attempt to intimidate medical staff: don’t treat, don’t record, don’t bear witness.
Medical neutrality is a core ethical duty. Treating the wounded is not a crime. Silencing doctors endangers everyone.

Wonderful international effort evaluating the prognostic impact of TILs in a large dataset of pts with eTNBC w/o chemo receipt. TILs found to be strongly prognostic, with 94% 5y DRFS for stage I TNBC in case of TILs ≥50%. Congrats @rleonferre & coauthors! https://t.co/uW9nArSUcV
