Don’t forget about Julian Assange
Brutally persecuted. Smeared. And even threatened with assassination by the US government, just for publishing truths about US war crimes.
Now he’s at high risk of being infected with the #coronavirus while incarcerated.

This is beyond inhuman.. It’s pure evil.
One Iranian dies of #coronavirus every 10 minutes.
50 Iranians get infected every hour.
And in the midst of this global pandemic, the US increases its genocidal sanctions, preventing #Iran from getting basic medicines and medical tools.

So... The US doesn’t have enough test kits, masks, ventilators or hospital beds in the midst of this #coronavirus pandemic, but somehow manages to continue bombing 7 countries, spend trillions on endless wars, and impose new murderous sanctions on #Iran and #Syria? Okay then...

The first coronavirus case in the U.S. and South Korea was detected on the same day. By late January, Seoul had medical companies starting to work on a diagnostic test — one was approved a week later. Today, the U.S. isn’t even close to meeting test demand https://reut.rs/3daq8mF

This is bulls**t
The US intensifying murderous sanctions on #Iran during a pandemic, making it virtually impossible for Iranians to get medicine and medical equipment to fight #coronavirus, is what has exacerbated the crisis.
Something that The Lying Economist fails to mention.

Iran has let its covid-19 outbreak get out of hand https://econ.st/2xO6aOo
This is monstrous.
#Iran is facing a #coronavirus catastrophe.
The US government increasing the immoral sanctions, which deny Iranians access to medicine and equipment that they need to fight this pandemic, is tantamount to mass murder.
Yet... Where is the global outrage?

The United States imposed fresh sanctions on Iran, keeping up its economic pressure campaign despite an earlier offer to help Tehran cope with the #coronavirus pandemic https://reut.rs/33oMYCu

Then lift the inhuman sanctions on #Iran, Cuba and Venezuela.
These sanctions are literally killing innocents.
These sanctions are preventing these countries from importing equipment and medicine they need to fight the #coronavirus pandemic.
These sanctions put us all at risk.

By definition.. The state that invaded #Iraq on a lie; killed and displaced millions; occupies Iraq’s land; pillaged its resources; poisoned it with depleted uranium; gave rise to ISIS; and now refuses to leave while still dropping bombs on Iraqis.. Can never act in self-defense.

Nine years ago today the Syrian people began peaceful protests calling for the Assad regime to recognize their basic rights and dignity. The people of #Syria deserve to live in peace free from airstrikes, chemical weapons attacks, barrel bombs, detention, torture, and starvation.

If you’re about to think “Oh no, I might not be able to get this or that at the grocery store,” take a moment to consider how US sanctions have effected people in Cuba, Iran & Venezuela. Millions of people for whom life has been made so hard. These are ways we can grow from this.
