Hospital files altered to conceal protester killings, witness says
Security forces in Iran pressured medical staff to cooperate in the crackdown by controlling hospitals and altering the files of wounded and dead patients to reduce recorded deaths from gunfire, information received by Iran international indicates.
Some facilities held multiple areas filled with uncovered bodies, with corpses loaded onto trucks and, in some cases, buried collectively without ritual washing, according to a healthcare worker.
The accounts also describe demands for payments tied to the type of bullet to release bodies, confiscation of staff ID cards, bans on communication, and manipulation of medical records to list alternative causes of death, the healthcare worker said.
