As the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor of Ardabil, Seyed Abdollah Tabatabaei, refused to fulfil his duty to identify those responsible for the poisoning of schoolgirls and filing a criminal case against them. Through this, he allowed the students’ right to life and right to be free from torture to be violated.
On 30 November 2022, the news of a poison attack at a girls’ school in Qom was published. Several videos and reports were published afterwards suggesting that the poisoning of students was spreading to schools in other cities of Iran.
Seyed Abdollah Tabatabaei and other Iranian authorities have failed to identify and hold accountable the perpetrators of the chemical attacks on schools in Urmia and other cities. They continue to make contradictory statements and have blamed the enemies of the Islamic Republic for these incidents.
