An 18-year-old girl has been taken hostage in a hospital in Yazd, central Iran, because she does not afford to pay for her hospital expenses.
According to a story published on April 5 by the state-run Tabnak Website, the orphan girl rushed to the emergency room of the hospital last week and underwent a surgical operation.
Her treatment cost nearly 4 million toumans ($1100), but she had only one million to pay. Since the girl does not have any form of financial support, she cannot pay for the rest of her expenses and it is seven days now that she is not allowed to leave the hospital.
