Physicians and medical college students in a Tehran hospital, most of them young women, staged a rally protesting the murder of Dr. Pirzadeh in Ardebil.
They described this murder as utterly cruel and held the Revolutionary Guards responsible. The female college students emphasized this murder case must be quickly investigated and its perpetrators identified immediately.
Asghar Pirzadeh, a renowned medical specialist in blood and cancer, was killed in a house on Thursday, July 23. He had long issued warnings about the IRGC extracting uranium and contaminating water in the Sabalan area, describing it as radioactive.
