The Islamic Republic has sentenced surgeon Dr. Alireza Golchini to death after arresting him during Iran's national uprising.
His "crime" was treating protesters wounded by the regime.
Not even doctors honoring their medical oaths are spared in the regime's war on Iranians.
Iranian doctor facing death penalty for treating injured protesters.
Dr. Alireza Golchini could be executed by the Iranian regime for providing medical treatments to injured protesters at a hospital in Qazvin.
He has been charged with “waging war against God.”
US State Department in Farsi Posts:
Iranian doctors swear to prioritize their patients’ well-being, do no harm, and uphold the highest ethical standards. Yet the government punishes medical staff simply for treating injured protesters, exactly the act they swore to perform: protecting human life.
Dr. Alireza Golchini is a stark example of this injustice. He has been sentenced to death solely for adhering to his medical oath.
By targeting those who honor their oath, the regime exposes its complete disregard not only for medical ethics but also for the most basic principles of humanity. Criminalizing empathy and turning caregivers into enemies is a profound betrayal of civilization and a confirmation of barbarity.
President Trump has explicitly stated that no executions should take place in Iran, warning that any such actions by the government will have consequences.
We demand the release of Dr. Golchini, all courageous doctors who have aided their fellow citizens, and everyone unjustly imprisoned. It is time for the Islamic Republic to end its campaign of fear and terror against the Iranian people.
