On April 24 and 25, several schools in Tehran, Sanandaj, Kermanshah, Mehrshahr Karaj and Hamedan witnessed the poisoning of more school girls. These organized chemical attacks are an attempt by the regime, 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. 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. Over the past five months, organized chemical attacks have occurred on more than 500 girls’ schools in 110 cities across Iran. https://tinyurl.com/5h5whd38
