News Center- In Iran, hundreds of female students have been hospitalized for suspected poisoning since November. According to some reports, about 900 students have been hospitalized for suspected poisoning. But activists say the number is more than reported.

In an interview with NuJINHA, child rights activist Parvin Azad said, “Fatemeh Rezaei, an eleven-year-old girl, has died in Qom because of the poisonings. However, her family said that she died due to her illness after being threatened.” Parvin Azad also said that the people do not trust in the government anymore, adding, “The government claimed that Jina Mahsa Amini died after falling ill. The government does the same in poisoning cases at schools. The people do not trust in the government anymore. According to the official reports, 900 students have been hospitalized for poisoning. However, we think the number of students is more than reported.”

‘Students are poisoned by the government’

‘The government is responsible for the poisoning of students,” Parvin Azad said, “The government poisons the female students to instill fear in students and their families with the aim of keeping them at home. Because, female students are on the frontline of the “Jin, Jiyan, Azadi” protests. They remove their hijabs to protest the regime. The regime is afraid of the protests to be held by female students. For this reason, the government poisons the female students to prevent them from holding protests.”

‘Young people are the future’

“The regime targets young people because young people are the future. Despite everything, young people are determined to change the regime. Not only students but also teachers must take to the streets to protest the regime. If we do not take to the streets, the regime will commit more crimes against humanity.”
