In September 2022, the death of Mahsa Amini, a Kurdish woman who died in police custody after she was arrested by the morality police for using “inappropriate” hijab, caused a general protest around Iran. The authorities said Amini died of a heart attack while he was in custody, while his family said he was beaten. The manifestations about his death quickly became a broader discontent with the regime.
In later six months, Iranian security forces have routinely used draconian tactics to try to suppress protests, judging children. In a report published on Thursday, Amnesty International found the children arrested and after the protests had a leg subject to electric discharges in their body, they had their heroes underwater, the leg sexually assaulted and the bone threatened rape. Many children were released only after signing “repentance” letters and promised not to participate in new protests, cordination to the Human Rights Organization. The Iranian government has not responded to the report and did not respond immediately to the request for comments from Buzzfeed News.
A mysterious wave of suspended poisoning throughout the country has also landed more than 1,000 school girls in the hospital. Iranian Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi, whose department leads research on Poisonon’s reports, said 90% of hospitalizations come from “stress and concerns to which the news is audited.” Many Iranians have dismissed that explanation, calling Vahidi’s affirmation “ridicule” and criticizing the regime for not taking measures on reports despite the generalized surveillance of residents.
In a press release on Thursday, the United Nations described the “deliberate” poisoning and condemned the government for not protecting girls and quickly investigating cases.
“There is a marked contrast between the rapid deployment of force to trial and peaceful protesters in jail and an inability voltage to identify and judge large -scale perpetrators, coordinated attacks against girls in Iran,” UN experts said.
