An Iranian man who allegedly filmed piles of stacked corpses inside a morgue, accusing the regime of covering up the true number of coronavirus deaths, has been arrested for publishing "false or unauthorised images" about the virus. The video, which was filmed on March 2 and has since gone viral on social media, showed bodies laid out in a morgue at a cemetery in Qom, the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak in Iran.
Around 40 or 50 body bags can be seen in the video lined up across the floor and on trolleys. The victims are awaiting burial after they had been washed.
"Look at those stacked corpses," the man in the video said in Farsi, according to a translation by Al Arabiya English.
"As you can see, there are many corpses of coronavirus victims. It has been this way for six days because of the lack of the ability to perform a proper burial. (The problem is) bigger than what the Iranian authorities and the media are saying. Dozens are dying every day in the city." Posted by Abdul
