Iran’s president has sounded the alarm after hundreds of girls were poisoned by noxious gas – as officials suspect attackers are targeting female education.
President Ebrahim Raisi has ordered authorities to investigate and make their findings public after almost 700 schoolgirls at around 30 institutions have been affected since November.
Officials had initially downplayed the wave of incidents, which left children in hospital with headaches, heart palpitations, lethargy or being unable to move.A person lifted into an ambulance outside a girls’ school in the city of Ardabil Iran has already been rocked by rallies demanding women’s freedom, sparked by Mahsa Amini’s death in police custody.Last month, residents staged protests in Qom – the city first hit by the attacks. ‘You are obliged to ensure my children’s safety! I have two daughters,’ one father could be heard saying in footage shared online.
