Hi @MSF Doctors Without Borders
Not a single word about the arrest of healthcare workers in Iran
Strange for such a usually vocal organisation
Seems to you do have borders after all
I used to work for you and donate to you - proudly
Never will do either again
@MSF_uk
Dr. #Farhad_Nadali was one of my most dedicated instructors in med school; he and my other colleagues have been arrested and are at risk of brutal punishment just for doing their job and honoring their medical oath.
🚨 Mass Arrests of Medical Staff; “Crime”: Fidelity to the Medical Oath
Field reports indicate an escalation in security crackdowns on physicians who have treated those injured in the protests. Raids on homes and the arrest of doctors are pushing citizens’ access to emergency medical care into crisis.
📍 Some of the detained doctors:
•Dr. Alireza Golchini (Surgeon, Qazvin)
•Dr. Ameneh Soleimani (Ardabil)
•Dr. Farhad Nadali (Surgeon, Gorgan)
•Dr. Saber Dehghan (Surgeon, Sirjan)
•Dr. Babak Pouramin (Emergency Physician)
Under international law, medical personnel are protected in the performance of their professional duties. Treating the wounded is not a “crime.”

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.

Doctors are being arrested for saving lives.
In Iran, security forces are storming hospitals to finish off wounded protesters.
Now they’re storming doctors’ homes.
At least 40,000 people killed.
More than 300,000 injured.
Doctors who treated the wounded are being hunted.

Their crime?
Practicing medicine.
This is what a terrorist state looks like.
He taught medicine as a moral act, not a career.
Compassion first. Integrity always.
That is the kind of professor now imprisoned in Iran.

@AlinejadMasih My wonderful professor, Dr. Farhad Nadali is a general surgeon a real human who taught medicine as a moral act, not a career.
That is the kind of professor now imprisoned in Iran.
همکار عزیز و شریف ما، دکتر #بابک_پورامین متخصص طب اورژانس، یک هفته پیش بازداشت شده.
من هرچی از محترم بودن و انساندوست بودن این آدم بگم کم گفتم. پزشکان تنها به اتهام انجام وظایف حرفهای و انسانیشون مجازات میشوند.
دکتر #فرهاد_نادعلی، متخصص جراحی عمومی در گرگان، به دلیل درمان مجروحان اعتراضات دی ماه سازمان اطلاعات سپاه تروریستی پاسداران خامنه ای دستگیر شد و به محل نامعلومی منتقل شدند. خبری از ایشان در دسترس نیست.
