A video shared by Masih Alinejad shows the Iranian plainclothes forces' brutal treatment of the mother of a schoolgirl poisoned at a school in Tehran's Tehransar neighborhood on Wednesday
Rights groups have spoken out in support of the scores of Iranian schools targeted by mysterious chemical gas attacks since November which have left hundreds of girls sick and many hospitalized.
Amnesty International and UNICEF issued statements on Thursday to condemn the attacks, which many have described as intentionally ignored by the regime.
Schoolgirls have been “at the forefront of protests and many bravely defied discriminatory compulsory veiling laws,” Amnesty said, noting that such attacks raise concerns of increasing gender-based violence against women and girls for standing up for their rights.
