According to international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions, and WHO standards, hospitals are protected areas where military or security forces may not enter. Interfering in these spaces violates the principle of medical neutrality, which protects patients, health professionals, clinics and hospitals from attacks, intimidation or violence. Attacks on hospitals constitute serious human rights violations and, in some cases, war crimes. During the protests in Iran, the armed forces control hospitals, killing injured patients because they see injuries as proof of participation in the protests[3][4]. Police shoot in the head or chest, causing gunshot and shrapnel injuries[1]. A report by Iranian doctors states at least 16,500 dead and 330,000 injured since the end of December[1][6]. These events take place in the context of a brutal intervention by the security forces[2].
