Amid public anger, Iran’s top leader calls girls’ poisoning ‘unforgivable’
Authorities have accused the Islamic Republic’s “enemies” of using the attacks to undermine the clerical establishment. But suspicions have fallen on hardline groups operating as self-declared guardians of their interpretation of Islam.In 2014, people took to the streets of the city of Isfahan after a wave of acid attacks, which appeared to be aimed at terrorizing women who violated the strict Islamic dress code.
“Now the girls of Iran are paying the price for fighting against the compulsory hijab and have been poisoned by the clerical establishment,” tweeted New York-based leading Iranian activist Masih Alinejad. Fearing fresh impetus for protests, authorities have downplayed the poisonings. A judicial probe is underway, though no details of findings have yet been given.
