THE Committee for the Defence of the Iranian People’s Rights (Codir) has accused the Iranian regime of gross irresponsibility and negligence in its approach to the Covid-19 pandemic in Iran.
While there were widespread indications that the virus had reached Iran in January, the regime refused to acknowledge its presence or take any measures to prevent its spread.
Codir cites as evidence of the regime’s negligence the fact that the regime wanted mass participation in the celebrations marking the 41st anniversary of the 1979 Revolution on February 11, as well as encouraging a high turnout for the parliamentary elections that took place on February 21.
