IRAN - Nasrin Sotoudeh has tested positive for the coronavirus

Nasrin Sotoudeh

12 November 2020 :

Nasrin Sotoudeh has tested positive for the coronavirus, her husband has said. Reza Khandan wrote on Facebook on November 11 that his wife contracted the virus at the Gharchak women's prison in Tehran, where she was transferred last month. The conditions at the prison were particularly “catastrophic,” he said. Sotoudeh was released from prison on November 8, after warnings last month by human rights groups that her health had severely deteriorated following a seven-week hunger strike. The Iranian health authorities have registered nearly 40,000 deaths in connection with the virus and more than 700,000 infections since the beginning of the pandemic.
On November 11, 11,780 new infections were reported over the previous 24 hours, with over 462 deaths. Organized opposition groups, such as the National Council of Resistance of Iran, believe that the government hides the real data on the epidemic from the outset, which would be much higher. As of yesterday, according to the NCRI, the coronavirus deaths in Iran would be 150,700.
