 the Sanctions Now – Stop Coronavirus!\n\nAs the US tightens sanctions on 
 Iran, our country is responsible for impacting that nation’s ability to 
 fight off the coronavirus pandemic. With 21,000 cases and over 1,000 new 
 cases a day, basic medicines are in short supply. And if the US sanctions 
 are successful in their goal of topping the regime, we can expect a new 
 wave of refugees — many of whom will carry the 
 virus.\n\nPANELISTS:\n\nShahin Tabatabaei, MD\nUrologic Oncologist at 
 Massachusetts General Hospital\n\nBorn in Tehran, Iran, Shahin Tabatabaei 
 now serves as the director of the Prostate Health Program at Massachusetts 
 General Hospital where he performs Urologic Oncologic surgery. He is also 
 an assistant professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School.  He received 
 his medical education in Tehran before moving to the U.S. 25 years ago.  In 
 the last year, he had to travel to Iran frequently to help with his aging 
 parents’ and in-laws’ medical conditions. He offers his personal 
 experience regarding the effects of the U.S. sanctions on people’s lives 
 and, particularly, on the medical system in Iran.\n\nJamal Abdi\nExecutive 
 Director at National Iranian American Council (NIAC) Action\n\nNIAC Action 
 is the grassroots, civic action organization committed to advancing peace 
 and championing the priorities of the Iranian-American community.  NIAC 
 Action works to maximize the political influence of Iranian Americans and 
 the pro-peace community to ensure we have a powerful voice on the issues 
 that matter to us most, using direct lobbying efforts in Washington, 
 grassroots advocacy led by NIAC Action Chapters nationwide, and organized 
 engagement with political candidates by NIAC Action members.  NIAC Action 
 sent a letter to President Trump, Sec. Mnuchin, and Sec. Pompeo on Friday, 
 signed by 25 organizations including Peace Action, calling for suspension 
 of sanctions that impact health care for 120 days due to the coronavirus 
 pandemic.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2020/03/25/18831820.php
