This online assembly was also attended by dignitaries from several European as well as Nordic countries.
Panelists discussed the terrible impact of the coronavirus crisis on Iran’s social and political situation, as well as the increasing loss of lives under the mullahs’ regime. In addition to the increasing death toll across Iran, they also referred to the serious consequences that political prisoners and their families endure as the coronavirus continues to spread across Iran.
Dr. Alejo Vidal Quadras, former European Parliament first Vice President was the first speaker of this event. “The regime claims total death toll today is around 4500 when on the bases on accurate info we receive daily from inside Iran across 230 cities in all 31 provinces, actual number is well beyond 24 thousand it is incredible that regime pretends it has crisis under control.”
