Iran executing protesters in hospital beds
Iranian authorities are reportedly carrying out brutal executions of anti-regime protesters, including those who are wounded and hospitalized, sources told The Post.
Videos circulating inside Iran show security forces raiding hospitals to target people injured in last month’s protests, which left thousands dead in the regime’s crackdown.
“They were in hospitals, with IV lines or breathing tubes attached,” one source said. “When you look closely, you realize they were shot in the head. They were executed — given the final shot — inside the hospital.”
Another source said the executions are happening daily, and sexual violence against detained protesters is widespread, with some female prisoners reportedly asking their families to send contraceptive pills. According to Iran’s “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign, which tracks political prisoners across 56 jails, more than 207 people have been executed over the past three weeks.
Ali Heydari, a 20-year-old arrested during the Jan. 8 crackdown, is among the latest to be executed, the Washington-based National Union for Democracy in Iran reported. Hundreds more detainees are at imminent risk, many held without due process or notification to their families.
The campaign also warned that lawyers and medical staff assisting protesters are increasingly targeted. “In line with escalating repression and public intimidation, the regime has arrested a number of lawyers, physicians, and medical staff, showing its fear of the people’s courageous uprising last January,” the group said.
Despite President Trump’s claim last month that Iran had halted executions of protesters, reports indicate the killings are continuing as part of the government’s effort to suppress dissent. Trump has warned that these executions, along with Iran’s failure to agree to a new nuclear deal, could provoke direct U.S. military action, a move Tehran has said could trigger all-out war.
Some survivors of the crackdown are still waiting for international intervention. One source described a fleeting sense of hope when hearing fireworks from pro-regime demonstrators celebrating the upcoming anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. “For a brief moment, I actually felt hopeful, thinking maybe the U.S. had struck government headquarters,” they said. “Then reality hit again.”
