During recent protests in Iran, many injured people refuse hospital care due to fear of arrest. Tara, a protester in Isfahan, said, "Don't take us to a hospital." She and her friend were hurt by shots fired by security forces and were treated secretly in a private home before being helped by a doctor. The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported over 6,300 deaths linked to the crackdown, including nearly 6,000 protesters. Many injured protesters stay away from hospitals since security agents monitor medical records and arrest patients. A Tehran surgeon, Nima, recalled treating dozens for gunshot wounds under intense conditions, saying, "All our clothes were soaked in the blood of these young people." He described horrific injuries, with many needing amputations. Iranian health officials claim about 3,100 deaths mainly involve security or bystanders and say hospitals treated around 13,000 operations during the unrest. However, workers report overcrowded, poorly supplied hospitals where protesters try to hide causes of injuries. Reports also indicate that some protesters were taken from hospitals by security forces and never seen again. Medical staff who help the wounded risk arrest or violence. The Iran Human Rights group said multiple doctors and volunteers have been arrested, including a surgeon accused of a capital offense. The crackdown pushes injured protesters to rely on secret care networks for survival amid fear and violence.
