Organized Chemical Attacks on Students in Iran Escalating

Organized Chemical Attacks on Students in Iran Escalating

Dozens of students were poisoned in the organized chemical attacks on April 24 and 25

On April 24 and 25, several schools in Tehran and other cities witnessed the poisoning of more school girls. These organized chemical attacks are an attempt by the regime, Khamenei, and the IRGC, to counter the uprising and take revenge on girls and women who were at the forefront of the protests in 2022 and 2023.

On April 25, students in several girls’ schools, including Avini Girls’ High School in Tehran, Niayesh Girls’ School in Sanandaj, and Qudousi Girls’ School and boys’ Mohammadian School in Kermanshah, were poisoned due to chemical attacks.

On April 24, schools that were targeted included Maedeh, Niayesh, Mastoureh Ardalan, Me’raj, and Esmat in Sanandaj, 22 Bahman Girls’ School, and Fatemeh Pezeshki Girls’ High School in Mehrshahr Karaj, Javad Al Asad Girls’ School, and Fatemiyeh Girls’ Conservatory, and Javid Al Athar Girls’ High School in Hamadan, as well as Fasainejad Girls’ School in Tehran. Dozens of students were poisoned and required hospital treatment.

Eyewitness accounts reported by the Kurdish media indicated that in Mastoureh Ardalan School, from the early hours of school on April 24, all students’ mobile phones were collected by the school management. The officials of this school kept the students in school until the end of the regular school hours and prevented them from entering or leaving.

Over the past five months, organized chemical attacks have occurred on more than 500 girls’ schools in 110 cities across Iran.

Deaths of students due to the organized chemical attacks

Despite continued reports of the poisoning of students and several deaths, the Iranian regime and its institutions have attempted to cover up and prevent the truth from being exposed.

Social media have reported the deaths of Mahna Rahimi Mehr in Saqqez, Kurdistan, and Raha Hosseini, 9, in Isfahan, due to the organized chemical attacks carried out on girls’ schools in April and March, respectively.

Those who have tried to spread the news about these crimes have been pursued and imprisoned.

On April 20, a woman was arrested for “preparing videos and photos of the students’ condition since their arrival at the hospital by attending various treatment departments.” She was charged with spreading lies and propaganda against the regime and sent to prison. (The state-run Entekhab.ir, April 20, 2023)

Members of the mullahs’ parliament have also raised concerns about the organized chemical attacks.

Behzad Rahimi stated on April 17 that “the serial poisoning of students has been occurring extensively for several months and has become a challenging and unresolved issue.” Another MP, Mostafa Reza Hosseini, criticized the government’s response and asked why more has not been done to arrest those responsible for these organized chemical attacks.

The Iranian Resistance calls for an independent investigation by the international fact-finding committee into these large-scale, systematic, and organized chemical attacks.
