The protests in Iran have been ongoing since September last year, but this weekend, there was a new twist as parents took to the streets of Tehran and other cities over suspected poison attacks on schoolgirls. Reports say that more than 1,000 students in at least 10 of Iran’s 31 provinces have been affected since November suffering respiratory problems, nausea, dizziness and fatigue after smelling tangerine or rotten fish at their school before falling ill. And last week, there were reports of a suspected new wave of poisonings. There’s a lot of blame going around… Many Iranians suspect the government is trying to force girls’ schools to close and that the girls are being targeted as “payback” for their role in the mass protests that erupted last year. The government says it’s the work of its enemies. Other politicians say the girls could have been targeted by hardline Islamist groups opposed to girls’ education. The United Nations is calling for a transparent investigation.
