The Deputy Head of Tehran Medical Council resigned in protest against the suppression of doctors.
This morning, Wednesday, October 26, coinciding with the 40th day of Mahsa Amini’s death and the security forces’ attack on doctors’ protests in front of the Medical Council, Mohammad Razi, Deputy Head of Tehran Medical Council, resigned.
In his resignation letter, he mentioned that he went to the Medical Council to assist in holding a less controversial gathering of doctors but was met with dozens of motorcyclists and security officials, witnessing bitter and unforgettable scenes of suppressive forces with female doctors.
He stated that when he requested that one of the female doctors, who was being dragged on the ground, be guided into the organization, one of the commanders pushed him as well.
He concluded his letter by writing, ‘I hereby apologize to the dedicated medical community and the public in need of health services for not being able to perform actions worthy of the honorable people during my tenure on the board of the Tehran Medical Council, and I hereby announce my resignation.’
