Prisoners riot in Iran amid region's worst virus outbreak

People wearing protective clothings, masks and gloves, attend the funeral of a victim who died after being infected with the new coronavirus, at a cemetery just outside Tehran, Iran, Monday, March 30, 2020.The new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms for most people, but for some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness or death.

Families of detainees and Western nations say Iran is holding those prisoners for political reasons or to use them as bargaining chips in negotiations. Since the beginning of the year, riots have broken out in prisons in Aligudarz, Hamedan and Tabriz as well, with some prisoners escaping, IRNA reported.

The virus has infected more than 720,000 people worldwide, causing more than 34,000 deaths, according to data gathered by Johns Hopkins University. More than 150,000 have recovered. Travelers with other nationalities will be released on Tuesday. It was not immediately clear where they would go, but authorities said they would be in contact with their embassies and the Foreign Ministry.

Alhamdulillah. Semoga cepat mampus

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Anyone know how Priti Patel is?

I love your sir I hoped you will recovery

Someone explain to me please why Trudeau, Trump, Merkel, Prince Charles have been exposed to Covid19. But Xi and Putin and co are fine. I think someone knows how serious this zombie apocalypse is, and someone didn't

Fake news

Burn in hell bibi

Coronavirus knows its targets.

Does this picture really go with the headline? OMG, is that Netanyahu rolled up in a tarp & being taken to quarantine? You’d think a PM would be more willing to self-quarantine!

MbuyiseniNdlozi I hope he tested positive and suffers and his respirator fail this will be justified for all war crimes against the Palestinians people

He should get the best of coronavirus to cheer up life of those depressed folks living under his thumbs.

That news make my day.

Wtf is in that white bag?

Stop treating apartheid regimes as if they are normal countries.... I wonder how historians in the future will see this times when the whole world pretended that Palestinians didn't exist in a favor of a ruthless apartheid regime...

Goooooood DAMN bruh

ジョンソンに続いて。レイシズムタカ派の首相二人なのは何かの報いか？

Do they have enough internet? I think they need more internet

☑️ Bojo ☑️ Bibi ⬜️ trump

DanDpeled

Many world leaders got infected or at least went into quarantine but nothing happened to Trump!

Why isn't he in jail yet? Why does he still have any power at all? netanyahu is a crook

¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

They call themselves as godly ppl and treat other ppl as inferior. But this disease hugs indiscriminately. Covid19

Thanks for the great news.

Coronavirus doing a favor.

I hope Benjamin Netanyahu to recover well. That said, he should no longer be Israel's prime minister and needs his health to be facing the corruption charges in court.
