Following attacks by Iranian regime agents on Khomeini Hospital in Ilam, government repression forces also attacked Sina Hospital in Tehran. Reports have also emerged of tear gas being fired in enclosed spaces such as inside the 15 Khordad metro station in Tehran and inside the Iranian Passage in the Shoush Bazaar area.
A video posted on social media shows that on January 6, government agents closed the entrance gate of Sina Hospital in the Hassan Abad area of Tehran, while the sound of gunfire was heard simultaneously.
Citizen reports indicate that tear gas was fired into the hospital.
Protesters were also seen running through the alleys around the hospital, chanting “Death to the dictator” and “Shameless, shameless.”
On the evening of Sunday, January 4, Iranian regime agents entered the courtyard of Khomeini Hospital in Ilam by firing live ammunition and tear gas. Repression forces then broke down the hospital doors, stormed the rooms, and attacked those present with batons and military equipment.
Videos showed nurses and citizens clashing with repression forces in front of the hospital.
Reports indicate that wounded individuals and those killed during the protests in Malekshahi, Ilam, were present in this hospital.
Widespread reactions followed the attack on the Ilam hospital.
On January 6, Amnesty International condemned the attack, stating that targeting a hospital—as a place where injured protesters were present to receive medical care or seek shelter—constitutes a violation of international law.

The U.S. Department of State also hours earlier described the Iranian regime’s brutal attack on a hospital in Malekshahi, Ilam, as a “crime,” adding that storming hospital wards, beating medical staff, and attacking the wounded with tear gas and live ammunition constitutes a clear crime against humanity.
Since the start of nationwide protests, Iran’s regime has attacked peaceful protest gatherings by citizens, arrested hundreds of people, injured dozens, and killed a number of them.
Reports indicate that protesters have been fired upon with live ammunition in cities such as Malekshahi in Ilam province.
Protests on January 2 and January 3 in this county were met with violent repression by government agents.
Iran Pedia, an online database documenting repression cases, has so far been able to publish the identities and names of 31 people killed in the recent protests.
Despite these widespread crackdowns, citizens of Malekshahi once again took to the streets on January 6 and clashed with repression forces.
