<<Organized Chemical Attacks on Students in Iran Escalating
On April 24 and 25, several schools in Tehran and other cities witnessed the poisoning of more school girls. These organized chemical attacks are an attempt by the regime, Khamenei, and the IRGC, to counter the uprising and take revenge on girls and women who were at the forefront of the protests in 2022 and 2023. On April 25, students in several girls' schools, including Avini Girls' High School in Tehran, Niayesh Girls' School in Sanandaj, and Qudousi Girls 'School and boys' Mohammadian School in Kermanshah, were poisoned due to chemical attacks. On April 24, schools that were targeted included Maedeh, Niayesh, Mastoureh Ardalan, Me'raj, and Esmat in Sanandaj, 22 Bahman Girls' School, and Fatemeh Pezeshki Girls' High School in Mehrshahr Karaj, Javad Al Asad Girls' School, and Fatemiyeh Girls' Conservatory, and Javid Al Athar Girls' High School in Hamadan, as well as Fasainejad Girls' School in Tehran. Dozens of students were poisoned and required hospital treatment. Eyewitness accounts reported by the Kurdish media indicated that in Mastoureh Ardalan School, from the early hours of school on April 24, all students' mobile phones were collected by the school management. The officials of this school kept the students in school until the end of the regular school hours and prevented them from entering or leaving. Over the past five months, organized chemical attacks have occurred on more than 500 girls' schools in 110 cities across Iran.
Deaths of students due to the organized chemical attacks
Despite continued reports of the poisoning of students and several deaths, the Iranian regime and its institutions have attempted to cover up and prevent the truth from being exposed. Social media have reported the deaths of Mahna Rahimi Mehr in Saqqez, Kurdistan, and Raha Hosseini, 9, in Isfahan, due to the organized chemical attacks carried out on girls' schools in April and March, respectively. Those who have tried to spread the news about these crimes have been pursued and imprisoned.>>

Center for Human Rights in Iran - April 24, 2023
Iran: School Girls Continue to Face Chemical Attacks, Officials Refuse to Provide Security
Authorities Threaten Students, Families and Teachers While Refusing to Provide Transparent Investigations
School Girls and Staff Describe Being Forced to Stay in Affected Buildings While Authorities Dismiss Concerns
Five months after the first report of a chemical attack on a girls' school in Iran, students across the country are continuing to report chemical odors in their classrooms and symptoms associated with chemical inhalation, including respiratory and gastrointestinal problems, fainting, and eye irritation.
<What we know at this time is that since November 2022, schoolgirls all over the country have been reporting extremely concerning symptoms leading to many hospitalizations, that state security forces have threatened parents and teachers not to talk publicly about the cases, and that Iranian authorities have refused to allow independent experts to investigate,> said Hadi Ghaemi, executive director of the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI). <In the absence of an accountable government that will provide facts and security, Iranian schoolgirls urgently need unhindered, transparent investigations by independent experts from the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund, and the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to address these attacks,> Ghaemi said. <This is not only a public health issue, it's also about access to education for girls in a country where women and girls are treated as second-class citizens because of their gender,> he added. Thousands of girls from predominantly public elementary, middle, and high schools around the country have fallen ill after smelling chemical odors in their classrooms, with hundreds being hospitalized since late November 2022. In March 2023, 20 Iranian human rights lawyers, including prominent lawyers based inside the country, published an open letter urgently calling for an independent, joint committee--comprised of experts from the world's top public health, children's rights, and education-focused UN agencies--to immediately investigate the attacks. <[Given] ....the necessity of transparent accountability, we ask you to use all available tools in your mandate to ensure that these incidents are immediately and transparently investigated in accordance with international standards and so that the perpetrators are identified and held accountable under the law,> wrote the lawyers.>>

<<Iranian Teachers in Special Care after More Schools Targeted by Chemical Attacks
An unknown number of Iranian students and teachers were taken to medical centers for treatment on April 24 after multiple girls' schools were targeted by chemical attacks. The attacks were reported in at least three provinces: Kurdistan, Hamadan and Alborz. According to reports, two teachers from a school in Karaj, near Tehran, were hospitalized at the special care unit. More than 20 pupils in the north-western city of Sanandaj were also taken to hospital, according to Hengaw, a Norway-based group that monitors rights violations in Iran's Kurdish regions. Since November 2022, more than 13,000 Iranian students have suffered symptoms including nausea, fainting, headaches, coughing, breathing difficulties and heart palpitations, with many requiring treatments in hospital. The poisonings have sparked fear and anger among schoolgirls, their parents and wider Iranian society. The attacks prompted calls for increased security measures at schools across the country, with several principals reportedly asking parents to keep their children at home. On April 24, the Coordinating Council of Teachers' Unions proposed the formation of <independent and popular school protection committees as soon as possible> to address the <continuous chemical attacks, primarily on girls' schools.> >>

<<Bipartisan US Congressional Caucus Formed to Support Iranian Women's Fight for Freedom and Democracy
House Resolution, Amnesty International censure the Iranian regime's inaction in addressing the poisoning of Iranian schoolgirls
A bipartisan congressional caucus of nearly 20 lawmakers was announced by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) on Thursday, April 20. The congressional caucus, called the Iranian Women Congressional Caucus, will serve as a forum for members of the US Congress to discuss issues and developments related to women's freedom and democracy in Iran. The first move by the committee was a joint resolution condemning the chemical attack on Iranian school girls. The resolution is the latest move by Congress to condemn the current Iranian regime and support the thousands of women and girls protesting for a secular, democratic, and nuclear-free Iran. The resolution, H. RES. 310, condemns the inaction by the Islamic Republic of Iran in addressing the poisoning of Iranian schoolgirls, the Daughters of the Iranian Revolution. The resolution highlights the recent poison gas attacks on schoolgirls in Iran and the Iranian regime's violent suppression of schoolgirls, men, and women participating in demonstrations. It calls for transparent accountability for all killings of protesters by Iranian security forces. It urges the United States government to initiate a formal process for an independent investigation of the gas attacks on schoolgirls in Iran. Additionally, the resolution calls on the US to work with the United Nations to send an independent fact-finding mission to Iran and with the World Health Organization to provide a transparent report to Congress based on an independent investigation of how these attacks are taking place and who is behind these attacks on schoolgirls in Iran.
....
The Iranian Women Congressional Caucus aims to highlight the bravery and resilience of Iranian women in their fight for equality and human rights. The co-chairs of the caucus are Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) and Nancy Mace (R-SC). The new committee is expected to work towards supporting the Iranian people's desire for a democratic, secular, and non-nuclear free Republic of Iran and condemning violations of human rights and state-sponsored terrorism by the Iranian regime.
Millions of schoolgirls at risk of Poisoning - Amnesty International
Meanwhile, Amnesty International issued an urgent action on April 18. The urgent action states, <The rights to education, health and life of millions of schoolgirls are at risk amid ongoing chemical gas attacks deliberately targeting girls' schools in Iran. Since November 2022, thousands of schoolgirls have been poisoned and hospitalized. The authorities have failed to investigate and end the attacks adequately and dismissed girls' symptoms as <stress>, <excitement,> and/or <mental contagion.> >>
