Iran's supreme leader has said whoever is responsible for suspected poisonings at girls' schools should be executed for an "unforgivable crime".

State media says around 1,000 pupils have become victims of what appear to be gas attacks since November. 

It's also reported that school authorities and the government have tried to cover up the poisonings after they have been carried out, with one girl saying "we don't feel safe".


What's going on in Iran's schools is deeply sinister - and authorities are trying to hush it up
One schoolgirl in the Kurdish region of northwest Iran describes the terrifying moment her classmates realised their school had been targeted - but school authorities and the government appear to be trying to cover up the attacks.

In one school after another since November students have been victims of what appear to be gas attacks. What kind of gas and the way it is disseminated is impossible to say. Students report the smell of eggs and citrus fruit before becoming overpowered. Some pass out, others are dizzy and nauseous, and many need to go to hospital.

Sky has been handed an interview with one schoolgirl in the Kurdish region of northwest Iran. She described the terrifying moment her classmates realised their school had been targeted.

"The gas attack started from the upper floor and more than half of the 9th graders fell sick and then gradually it spread to the lower floors and they did not let us leave until school time was over, the gas was still there but they did not let us go home."

Making matters worse it seems school authorities and the government have tried to cover up the attacks after they have been carried out.

"A few of us told the principal that our friends are sick and they are in a bad state. But they said you are just acting and lying and nothing has happened to you. Then our own friends called the emergency services and three ambulances arrived and they said it is true what the pupils say."

Sky was passed the interview by a human rights group operating in Iran. It also provided an interview with a mother of a nine-year-old caught in another alleged attack also in the northwest of the country.

"The children and teachers were struggling to get out of the class our eyes were burning, we felt that our faces were burning, the children were all panicking and screaming and pouring into the corridors then the principal called the ambulance and several students and two of the teachers were taken to hospital."
