#BREAKING
March 29—Shiraz, south-central #Iran
Inmates of Adel Abad Prison launched a riot, protesting authorities' refusal to release temporarily despite the coronavirus outbreak.
This is the seventh such prison riot across Iran in less than two weeks.
#UPDATE
March 29—Shiraz, south-central #Iran
Authorities are stationing security units in streets throughout the city.
The regime cannot afford riots becoming the new norm throughout the country.
Apologies.
"despite" should be "during"
#UPDATE

Reports indicate authorities firing at rioting/fleeing prisoners. Security forces have stationed in all areas of the city.

Reminder:
Shiraz was the epicenter of Iran's November 2019 nationwide uprising.

#Iran knew that the country had coronavirus infections in Tehran as early in January, according to an Iranian opposition group -- a timeline far earlier than that given by regime officials.

"The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an umbrella of Iranian resistance groups opposed to the regime, this week published documents it says shows that Iran had multiple cases in late January, weeks earlier than stated by authorities."

"... by mid-January, senior officials in the ministry had received letters from doctors warning about the problem in Qom, followed by similar warnings from Mashhad and other cities. 'But the ministry silenced everyone...'"

Any thoughts @SenSanders?

@khamenei_ir's assets are:

-$95 billion
reuters.com/investigates/i…

-$200 billion
freebeacon.com/national-secur…

#Iran has billions of dollars, but chooses to spend them on terrorists, not the Iranian people's needs.
Reminder for @SenSanders:

"Treasury Designates Vast Network of IRGC-QF Officials and Front Companies in Iraq, Iran"
home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…

IRGC & Quds Force are designated terrorist entities.

Sen. Sanders, do you understand that you are defending #Iran's terrorism?
This read sheds light on the fake news published by MSM & pushed by #Iran's regime & its network of apologists/lobbyists abroad.

1⃣The tragedy of #Coronavirus spread in #Iran's prisons

#Covid_19 epidemic has arguably provided #Iran's regime authorities with an opportunity to ramp up this practice, thereby killing off political prisoners or at least severely impairing their health

#Iran’s regime is mercilessly playing with its citizens' lives as it rejects foreign aid over the #coronavirus outbreak to instead push its propaganda that U.S. #sanctions are hindering its fight against the pandemic.

2⃣
Some U.S. mainstream media publications are helping the mullahs by parroting Tehran’s talking points.
An editorial in the #NewYorkTimes claims “This #Coronavirus Crisis Is the Time to Ease #Sanctions on #Iran & they insist on #FakeNews.
cnsnews.com/commentary/han…
3⃣
In fact, #Iran’s regime is blocking foreign medical aid. One day after #MSF announced that it had sent a 50-bed inflatable hospital and an emergency team to Iran to treat critically ill #COVID19 patients, the regime ordered their expulsion.
