Jakarta –
Iran hit poisoning bulk. Five thousand school children became victims of poisoning. This incident also made Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenel angry.
This mass poisoning event initially occurred in the holy city of Qom in November last year, before spreading to 25 provinces in Iran. It is not yet known why school children in Iran became victims of mass poisoning.
According to reports by state media and Tehran officials, it was initially recorded that more than 1,000 schoolgirls had been poisoned. However, now the number has grown to more than 5,000 people.
The incident has also sparked international concern and Western calls for an independent investigation, especially since the first reported case occurred soon after the start of the nationwide protests sparked by the death of Iranian Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini following her arrest for allegedly violating the headscarf rule.
Dozens of schools have been hit. Students experienced symptoms ranging from shortness of breath to nausea and vertigo after reporting an “unpleasant” odor in the school environment. Several students have been hospitalized.
“Twenty-five provinces and around 230 schools have been affected, and more than 5,000 girls and boys were poisoned,” Mohammad-Hassan Asafari, a member of the parliament’s fact-finding committee, told ISNA news agency on Monday (6/3) .
“Various tests are being carried out to identify the type and cause of poisoning. So far, there is no specific information regarding the type of poison used,” he added.
Outraged Iranian Leaders!
The ayatollah also asked a number of officials to investigate this case. He ordered that the perpetrators who poisoned the children not be given mercy.
He firmly stated that he would give the perpetrators the death penalty.
“If it is proven intentional, the perpetrators of this unpardonable crime should be put to death,” he said.
“There will be no amnesty for them,” he stressed.
