BRUSSELS, March 16 — European lawmakers called on the UN Human Rights Council today to conduct an independent investigation into a wave of poisonings that have hit schoolgirls in Iran.
In a resolution, the European Parliament condemned “in the strongest terms, this atrocious attempt to silence women and girls in Iran”. It also urged EU member states to facilitate the issuance of visas, asylum and emergency grants to those who need to leave Iran, “particularly women and girls”. Some activists have accused the establishment of orchestrating the poisonings in revenge for the fact that schoolgirls joined the protests.
