We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned about the reports of schoolgirls being poisoned by toxic gases in Iran, especially in light of recent evidence suggesting the involvement of state agents in the attacks. More than 1,000 Iranian students have fallen ill over the past three months in what has been reported to be a wave of poisonings. It is unacceptable for schoolgirls, or any members of society, to be subjected to such attacks. These incidents represent a grave violation of human rights, and urgent action is needed to address this situation.

We call on the international community and the UN to take swift and decisive action to address this issue and protect the human rights of Iranian citizens, particularly women and girls who are the most vulnerable in this situation.

We urge the international community to:

We call on the United Nations to urgently conduct an independent investigation into the incidents to determine the cause of the poisoning and hold those responsible accountable. An independent investigation is critical to ensuring transparency, impartiality, and fairness in addressing this situation.

- The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) should provide technical expertise to help detect and identify the toxic gases that were responsible for the poisonings. This could include providing specialized equipment and training.

- The international community should use diplomatic channels to put pressure on the Iranian government to investigate and address the poisoning incidents. Diplomatic pressure should also be used to call for accountability, as the evidence suggests that these were deliberate acts of sabotage. It is imperative that those responsible are held accountable for their actions to prevent any further harm to innocent civilians.

The international community must act quickly and decisively to ensure that those responsible for these attacks are held accountable and that the human rights of Iranian citizens, particularly women and girls, are protected. We stand in solidarity with the affected families and urge the international community to join us in calling for swift action.
