Article: "People Infected With HIV In A Region Of Iran Attack Government Buildings"

From the article:
      Enraged people in a village in southwest Iran stormed the Friday Prayer Imam's office, set it on fire, and attacked the Governor's building.

      At least 300 people, including children, are believed to have been infected with HIV in the province by a medical assistant using a contaminated syringe, furious people say.

     Based on the latest reports, protesters burned the health network facilities on Saturday, October 5. Local health clinics are run by the country's health ministry.

     People in the village of Chenar Mahmoud in the town of Lordegan, Chahar Mahal & Bakhtiari, maintain that their loved ones contracted HIV from contaminated needles used by the village's health organization to test for diabetes two months ago.

     The outbreak has also affected residents of the neighboring villages.

      However, the local health authorities dismiss the allegation, pointing out that cases of HIV had been detected in the village weeks before the diabetes tests.

     Footages circulated on social media show protesters chanting anti-Islamic Republic slogans.
Apparently the villagers do not believe that the infections are a case of inshallah.
