Report: Iran Arrests Man for Photographing Piles of Coronavirus Victim Bodies
BREITBART ^ | March 6, 2020 | Frances Martel

Reports out of Iran indicate that police apprehended an unnamed man this week after a video surfaced showing piles of corpses, presumably of Chinese coronavirus victims, at a mortuary in Qom, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in the country.

Following the publication of the video on social media, multiple reports have corroborated evidence that Iran is experiencing an extremely high coronavirus death rate, potentially much higher than the official government numbers. CNN published a report Thursday similarly relaying the dire images of piles of bodies too large for government health workers to know what to do with and confirming that Iranian state media admitted the video was real.

The Saudi news outlet Al-Arabiya reported the arrest of the unnamed man on Wednesday, citing Iran International TV. It did not offer any details regarding if the man was indeed arrested in Qom or where Iranian police took him, as Iran admitted to freeing tens of thousands of prisoners this week in an attempt to prevent a pandemic within the prison system.

Similarly, the New York Post reported the arrest of one person in association with the filming of the video but offered no more information on the person. The Post noted that the online origin of the video appeared to be Iranian journalist Mohamad Ahwaze, who described the whistleblower behind the video as a member of the medical staff attempting to handle the crisis.

The gruesome video shows bodies in black bags lined on the floor at a health facility; the narrator, in Farsi, reportedly describes them as coronavirus victims and laments that the government’s ineptitude has made it impossible to offer these individuals a proper burial.

OMG! Dead bodies IN A MORGUE!

NOT in PILES!

Just tell the TRUTH! The truth is bad enough.

Less HYPE, more FACTS.

"Iran must have tried to buy the virus from China...I see no other way of them getting it."

Or very amateurish theft.

I thought it first broke out in Qom, a city of Muslim pilgrimage. Could a Uighur have inadvertently brought it? (I know that Xinjiang has been mostly spared virus infection).

China freaking out so fast when there were on a few deaths.

That is the other shoe that has yet to drop or be removed. Either the Chinese gov knows something about this virus we don't (yet) or they were uncertain as to its fatality.

*******

China has a rather huge jihad problem going on in its west. The Uighur jihadis routinely travel to Iran for training in rather large numbers.

Uighur jihadis also number significantly among every other jihadiscum outfit.

Good chance we’ll see Uighur carriers importing the disease to Afghanistan and the Pankisi Gorge in Georgia.

Wow. Democrats vs the truth. Nothing is deadlier to the truth than a Democrat. Nothing is deadlier to a Democrat than the truth. Only one can survive.

I didn’t try to count the body bags in the video but there are a LOT. They are everywhere in the facility where it was being recorded. No wonder they are hiding the truth from their people. Add in the spitting and licking and it’s a miracle the entire country isn’t stricken.

Just wait until the Hajj. You will have 2 million + people spending one week piled on top of one another.

The re-infection effects are scary in their lethality. The odds are very good that China knew these data points on this (manufactured) virus.
