After the beginning of the mysterious poisoning in Iran, according to the government, 100 school children are still being treated in hospitals. The authorities registered a total of 13,000 suspected cases, the Iranian news agency Tasnim reported on Monday.
The mysterious wave of poisoning rocked the country and sparked new protests last week.
The first cases were reported in November. The government of Iran assumes targeted attacks. Girls’ schools are almost exclusively affected. Parents and relatives are outraged and angry. They accuse the authorities of failure and blame them. Doctors speak of gas poisoning. The background is still largely unclear. There have been no deaths so far.
Iran’s political and spiritual leadership has been under enormous strain since protests broke out against the repressive government and Islamic rule system in the autumn. Following the death of Iranian Kurd Jina Mahsa Amini in police custody, Tehran plunged into its worst political crisis in decades. (saw/sda/dpa)
