Tehran, Jan. 20 - There are currently "200,000 sufferers of the Hepatitis C virus in Iran", according to the head of the Iranian Medical Association.
Speaking to a state-run news agency, Dr. Iraj Khosronia warned, "One of the most dangerous viruses affecting human society is Hepatitis C . but people's awareness about this disease is very limited".
Khosronia accused government-controlled media of deliberately avoiding the issue and said "if the media do not educate people in the necessary way then this disease will bring more harm than AIDS to our society. People have no information about the Hepatitis vaccines".
Hepatitis C is easily transmitted via blood is drug addicts who use syringes are most in danger of being infected, Khosronia said.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
