STORY: In Iran, dozens of people have protested against the poisoning of girls. In a video published on the Internet on Saturday and taken in the capital Tehran, people can be seen demonstrating with shouts against the so-called vice police. The Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday that hundreds of girls in several schools were ill. Numerous photos and videos of girls who are in the hospital are circulating on social media. Some said they were nauseous, others complained of headaches and tachycardia. Some politicians have suggested they may have been targeted by religious groups opposed to girls’ education. The hitherto unsolved poisoning attacks on more than 30 schools in at least four cities have not only prompted parents to take their children out of school. Reports about this were also met with criticism internationally, for example in the USA and Germany. The UN human rights office in Geneva called for a transparent investigation into the attacks.
