Girls schools poisoned with gas in Iran

I saw this at 4am on the BBC while up with DD - I can’t believe this hasn’t got more coverage!?

More than 700 girls in Iran have been poisoned with gas while at school, in an attempt to close girls schools. Absolutely shocking. In one case, they believe the (male) headmaster conspired with terrorists to gas the school, and he was nowhere to be found during or after the incident. His instructions were to keep the girls in their classrooms, and it was only after a few heroic teachers opened the doors that the girls could leave.

We should never take our education for granted.

I read about this. Absolutely horrific. Those poor girls. It's getting worse and worse for all females in Iran by the sound of things 😕

It is getting far more coverage in the French press, Le Monde for example.

I started a thread about this last week

It has been going on for months

it has been investigated by the BBC but they were unable to confirm whether there was an actual poison or whether symptoms were "sociogenic"

The "poison" if it exists has no lasting effects

Reposted from the other thread:

1000% they are being poisoned, there are countless videos of the mullahs saying that schools and universities are "more dangerous to us than a bomb". This is a pattern that the Taliban used between 2010-12 to close girls schools and distance them from their education, leading to total isolation from any education at all, which is happening now, as you probably know. Also in Iran since the protests, we have seen university students poisoned en masse, to stop their protests and weaken the force they were gathering in voicing their dissent against the totalitarian regime. The following days they threw their refectory meal trays into the courtyards, untouched and had mass shared picnics of their own
home food outside in the campus to show their resistance. These things are common tactics by this regime.

It seems far fetched, but in the past even in the UK the government tested germ warfare in Oxford street during the cold war! The files are public knowledge now here is The Independent reporting on it. And it was not only UK. USA tested chemicals on black people by injecting them and lying as to what it was, in Louisiana, Tuscany. Historically, the term "hysteria" has been used to put women down and devalue their protests. In Victorian England doctors and husbands routinely forced women to have their wombs removed as they were believed to be the source of their over-passionate "hysteria", hence the medical term "hysterectomy". They also used to pull ALL their teeth out for being difficult as it was believed to placate them, or put them in mental homes for having kids outside of marriage.

So you see it is not far fetched. As far as the things The Islamic(ist, as we should really be calling them) Regime do to surpress the people and maintain their mafia-like control, I will not horrify you with the details, just believe me, this is nothing. The Islamicist Regime hates women, hates schoolgirls (see the videos of school girls rebelling their bring tears to the eyes! They have had enough and risk everything!) and hates minorities, they regularly make people chant nonsensical things such as "Death To America!", yet take no criticism themselves. Look up the hashtags #womanlifefreedom #jinjiyanazadi #mahsaamini #opiran and #iranrevolution to see more.

Thanks for drawing this to my attention OP. I was very confused as to why this didn't appear on the front page of the BBC news website for me but the friggin change in value of Boot's clubcard points did! WTF?

Bloody hell, that's appalling. The girls protesting are so brave.

It appeared on the front page of BBC news last week.

Mass psychogenic incident is another potential explanation

I'm ashamed to admit it but I am afraid to even watch the news reports, it's so upsetting.
