In Iran, gas poisonings no longer only concern girls’ schools. They also affect boarding schools and women’s sports clubs and anger parents, who demonstrate and sometimes clash with the police.
In the province of Tehran, a school has just been targeted by a mysterious toxic gas. While some parents desperately try to enter by climbing the gate, the authorities close the access. Across the country, young girls were taken ill. In psychosis, parents rush to take them to the emergency room. Iranian journalists no longer have the right to film in hospitals, so clandestine videos are circulating to help understand the condition of the victims.
Several arrests in the country
Since the attacks began in December, 5,000 students from 230 schools have been targeted, authorities said. The Iranian population is sickened to see that the aggressors seek to deprive young girls of access to education. “Death at the thought of extremists“, shout the rebellious women. “Death to the Taliban of Iran or Afghanistan” scream teachers. The first arrests of alleged attackers took place on Wednesday March 8, according to the Minister of the Interior, who remains unclear. “Several people were arrested in five provinces”, said Majid Mirahmadi. These surveys are struggling to convince in the country and part of the inhabitants believe that the Iranian regime tacitly encourages extremists to take revenge on women in rebellion.
