In the last few months a Qomone of the most important holy cities of Iran, someone has Poisoned hundreds of students to get girls’ schools closed: a health authority explained it.
Since late November, local media have reported cases of respiratory poisoning in hundreds of girls as young as 10 in the city’s schools. According to the Irna news agency, the parents met in front of the city governor’s office on February 14 to “seek explanations.” Deputy Health Secretary Youness Panahi implicitly confirmed that “the poisoning was intentional,” Irna wrote.
Intelligence and education ministries were working together to find the source of the poisoning, government spokesman Ali Bahadori Jahromi said. “It turned out that some people wanted all schools, especially girls’ schools, to be closed,” Minister Panahi said. No arrests have been announced.
The poisoning was caused by “chemical compounds that are not available for military use and are neither contagious nor transmissible,” he added, without elaborating. The city of Qom, 150 kilometers south of Tehran, is the center of Shiite religious studies in Iran.
