Statement from lawyers and filmmakers regarding student poisoning
A number of lawyers and filmmakers protested the poisoning of the students and issued a statement in this regard.
After more than 5 months since the poisoning of the students, not only have these attacks not stopped, but the perpetrators of these attacks and poisonings have not been identified by the government.
The poisoning of students from elementary to high school has sparked widespread reactions both inside and outside the country. In this regard, a number of lawyers and filmmakers in Iran have issued a statement regarding these poisonings, calling for the identification of the causes.
According to HRANA, part of this statement reads: "The deliberate poisonings in Iranian schools, which began in Azar 1401 in Qom, have poisoned more than 13,000 people by the end of the year. It is as if this act is a kind of threat and revenge against young girls and teenagers who, in the epoch-making "Women, Life, Freedom" movement, have made the face of their efforts, ending the compulsory hijab and demanding women's rights. While every protest action and movement does not remain hidden from the eyes of authoritarian forces, the inattention to discovering the perpetrators of these crimes reflects the agenda of gangs hidden in the dark rooms of mafia power."
It should be noted that the signatories of this statement are Giti Pourfazel, Jafar Panahi, Ramadan Haji Mashhadi, Saeed Dehghan, Katayoun Riahi, Hossein Raisi, Farzaneh Zeilabi, Nasrin Sotoudeh, Mehrangiz Kar, and Mohammad Moghimi.
