United States Department of State Spokesperson Ned Price called the reports of poisoning schoolgirls “very disturbing,” during a briefing Wednesday.
“We’ve seen these reports, these are very disturbing, these are very concerning reports,” Price said.”To poison girls who are simply trying to learn is simply an abhorrent act.”
Price called education a universal right, and the girls must gain access wherever in the world.
The news comes Iranian media outlets reported that 14 schoolgirls havd been poisoned in Tehran.
About 100 days ago the news relating poisoning schoolgirls hit the headlines in Qom city in Iran. The Iranian members of parliament have offered diverse figures on students who had been poisoned from 800 to 1200.
