The protesting parents demand that the government take action in this matter. In December 2022, an inquiry was ordered into the girl students falling ill.

According to Iran's news agency IRNA, Deputy Health Minister Yunus Panahi had said - cases of poisoning of female students in schools show that some people want to stop girls' education and close girls' schools.

Cases of respiratory poisoning increased after Mahsa Amini's death.

According to reports, the cases of poisoning of girl students have come to the fore after protests started on September 16 over the death of Mahsa Amini. In fact, on September 16, 22-year-old Mehsa died in police custody. She was not wearing a hijab, after which she was arrested. There are restrictions on girls in Iran and strict laws regarding wearing hijab.

Several school girls took to the streets to protest against Mehsa's death and the mandatory hijab. Since then, news of the poisoning of girl students started surfacing. The government and its agencies were accused of poisoning. After this allegation, the government officials said – We believe that the students have fallen ill. The reason for this is bad water. Bacteria flourished in the water and students fell ill after drinking it.

The protesting girl students were admitted to the psychiatric hospital

The government of Iran has even declared the protesting girl students as mentally ill. Iran's education minister had said that school and college girls who oppose hijab are not in a good mental state.

He said – all these girl students are suffering from mental illness. These girl students are being admitted to the psychiatric hospital. So that the anti-social behavior that is flourishing in these girl students can be rectified.
