Iranian Activists and Journalists Facing Criminal Charges over Suspected Poisonings
Iranian prosecutors are filing charges against activists, journalists, and others over their comments on the recent incidents of suspected poisoning that have been plaguing the country. This has coincided with the ongoing struggle faced by the Iranian government due to months of country-wide protest over the death of Mahsa Amini. Over 127 schools have reported suspected cases of poisoning so far and anxiety among parents is climbing. The extent of the casualties is unclear, with estimates ranging from several hundred to five thousand. At least one government lawmaker has claimed that these attacks may be the work of religious fundamentalists seeking to undermine the education of young girls. Some 100 journalists have been arrested since the start of September for their reporting on the crisis. The United Nations has recently been called upon to investigate these cases by the US press secretary, among others, who are still attempting to determine whether or not they are part of a larger coordinated effort or a case of mass hysteria.
