1,200+ Iranian girls across hundreds of schools have been poisoned. As government investigations, still largely unknown, continue into who is responsible and what their motivations are, the death penalty has been promised–if the attacks are found to be deliberate.<br /><br />These girls reported symptoms consistent with toxic gas poisoning–like dizziness, headaches, heart palpitations, and difficulty moving. They also reported smelling rotten food, chlorine, or cleaning agents before fainting. While many people are pointing to fundamentalist groups targeting girls education, Iran’s government is blaming “foreign enemies” and their supreme leader is calling it an “unforgivable” crime. <br /><br />What is clear, Iranian girls are paying the price. Will the true perpetrators be found and held accountable? First arrests were announced on Tuesday. <br /><br />Voiceover<br />Sahar Delijani<br /><br />Producer<br />Joy Jihyun Jeong<br />Manal Ahmed<br /><br />Head of Production<br />Stephanie Tangkilisan<br /><br />Editor in Chief<br />Keshia Hannam<br /><br />Editor<br />Emily Ma<br /><br />Additional Archival Material<br />Instagram/1500tasvir<br />Instagram/from__iran<br />Twitter/Masih Alinejad<br />The Guardian<br /><br />Additional Music<br />Breaking & Entering by Cosmo Lawson
