(Video) Iran: Poisoning of Students Spreads to Small Towns and Villages
Maryam Rajavi: "After 100 days, Khamenei is looking for someone to blame in fear of an uprising, which is none other than himself, the agencies, and the agents under his command. Otherwise, he should accept the international investigation mission."
Despite the widespread poisoning of girl students and the mounting evidence of the direct involvement, of agencies under the command of the regime’s leader, Khamenei broke his silence. He said, "If anyone is identified there will be no forgiveness for them."
Ebrahim Raisi settled the matter in a cabinet meeting. Quoting the Minister of Intelligence’s report, He said: “This is a conspiracy by the enemy aimed at creating societal unrest, fear-mongering, and public anxiety among the children in our country’s children!"
Khamenei: “The intelligence and law enforcement agencies need to follow the case seriously if anyone is involved in this incident must be severely punished."
Despite the widespread poisoning of girl students and the mounting evidence of the direct involvement, of agencies under the command of the regime’s supreme leader, Khamenei broke his silence at a recent tree-planting ceremony. “The officials and intelligence and law enforcement agencies need to follow the case seriously if anyone is involved in this incident, the agents and the masterminds must be severely punished. If anyone is identified and convicted as the perpetrator of this crime, there will be no forgiveness for them,” he said. (Khamenei website – March 6).
Of course, before Khamenei, the regime’s president, Ebrahim Raisi settled the matter in a cabinet meeting. Quoting the Minister of Intelligence’s report, Raisi said:
“This is part of a larger conspiracy by the enemy aimed at creating societal unrest, fear-mongering, and public anxiety among the children in our country’s children. Its roots must be found and dealt with seriously. (Tasnim news agency, March 6).
Judiciary Chief Gholam Hossein Mohseni Eje’i also said: “Those who poison students are corrupting the earth.” At the same time, he threatened the people:
“People who inflame the environment and spread lies regarding the poisoning issue must be summoned,” adding, “Yesterday, all local justice department branches were ordered to set up an office in provincial capitals to summon those who inflame the environment and spread lies regarding the poisoning issue. It can be one of two issues. Either these people are determined to have malicious intent and are aligned with the enemy, in which case they will be severely punished, or it is verified that they do not have malicious intent, in which case we cannot be lenient and they will be dealt with legally.”
Eje’i added: “Without a doubt, the enemy is supporting, inciting, and abusing some social anomalies, including issues against public modesty, against Sharia, and against the law, of which the removing the hijab is one example. The enemy is busy supporting, spreading, and exploiting. This is different from individual mistakes and sins, and the role of the enemy in them is obvious. Therefore, measures will be taken in this field soon with the coordination of other agencies, the results of which you will see.” (Judiciary news agency – Mizan – March 6).
Ahmad Alam Al-Hadi, Khamenei’s representative in Mashhad and Raisi’s father-in-law, said: “The security authority of the system can no longer handle this matter. On the issue of the Hijab, all of you brothers and sisters must stand up and confront the process of removing the Hijab.” (Entekhab website – March 3). IRGC Brig. Gen. Gholamreza Jalali, the head of the regime’s passive defense organization, said: “The poisonings are caused by the direct intervention of the Nefagh, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK), and enemies of the country.” (Entekhab website – March 5).
At the same time, Massoud Pezeshkian, a member of the Health and Treatment Commission of the Regime Parliament, said, “The security system, which investigates, follows up and arrests in the shortest possible time other problems that occur, how is it possible that it does not see this case?… The failure of the country’s security system to deal with those responsible for the poisoning is questionable and unacceptable.” (Didban Iran state-run website – March 6). It is said that several journalists in the state media have been arrested for writing about this matter.
