The Iranian Legal Medicine Organization (ILMO) (Persian: سازمان پزشکی قانونی) is a program under Iran's Judicial Branch.[1] It is based in Tehran.[2] In addition to publishing data about medical conditions and fatalities in the country,[3][4] and releasing reports on injuries and fatalities due to natural disasters,[5][6] it also offers services like coroners and virginity tests.[citation needed]

History

1922, the first Office of Legal Medicine, in the Ministry of Justice, was established. Until 1942 forensics were done in private doctors offices.

In 2022 ILMO released a statement in which they claimed that Mahsa Amini's death was due to medication she had been taking, rather than due to police violence.[7]

Publications

ILMO owns the Iranian Journal of Forensic Medicine.[8]
