Because Iran has socialized medicine and no basic freedoms, doctors and hospital employees have been mandated to report injured protesters. Militia and secret police then come to forcefully remove the injured at the protest of the nurses and doctors. Remember there's staff under the same mandate.
The importance of foreign embassies taking the injured becomes much more apparent in this context. Canadians need to contact their represantives and protest the Canandian gov't policy. The protesters they deny treatment, end up dissappearing, in prison camps or an house invasion via militia.
That is a really tricky thing. As an embassy, even for the injured, you really cannot get involved even to the point of taking in injured. Taking in injured is getting involved and could cause serious issues for the embassy/country doing it. You did not however provide a link telling of the Canadians turning people away. In addition to that, unless they asked for asylum, we would most likely turn them away too, if we had an embassy there which we don't.
Canadian minister Jason Kenny, minister of immigration and citizenship, turns to 'twitter' to counter Canadian embassy myth. Minister turns to Twitter to counter Iran embassy myth - On the Hill
"Canada does not offer asylum to individuals in its embassies abroad. However, in exceptional cases where an individual is in the embassy and seeks temporary refuge because of an immediate threat or injury or death, temporary safe haven has, in some instances and for humanitarian reasons, been provided".
Needless to say every single American embassy in the world follows the same procedure as outlined by the United Nations. and does not intervene in internal politics within a country by offering asylum.
America embassies will only offer asylum for those with dual citizenship, or in the case of Iraq, South Korea, Afghanistan, Pakistan, to any notable talking head who is willing to help spread misinformation to the media to help promote whatever call for war, or destabilization that is the current presidential fad.
In situations of unrest outside the embassy gates, usual protocol is to put the embassy on lockdown and secure it from the trouble outside. This can have harsh consequences, but it is standard protocol.
For example, when the US consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia was attacked on December 6, 2004, the consulate sealed its inner walls and did not allow anyone trapped between the breached outer wall and the sealed inner wall sanctuary. As a result, five embassy employees died, but the attackers did not breach the inner wall.
That's the protocol.
