Iran is witnessing its 215th day of the nationwide uprising as the regime’s chemical gas attacks against schools persist. The attacks are targeting mostly schoolgirls and leaving them poisoned, resulting in an urgent need for medical care.
The Hengaw Human Rights Organization has reported at least 20 chemical gas attacks by regime operatives targeting schools throughout Iran. In response to these attacks, protests are escalating in numbers. To date, these protests have expanded to at least 282 cities. However, the regime’s forces have killed over 750 people and arrested more than 30,000, according to sources of the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
In mid-April, brave youth and MEK Resistance Units inside Iran launched a new wave of 13 different attacks and anti-regime measures. They did this in response to the regime’s deliberate and organized chemical gas attacks targeting schoolgirls across the country.
