Close to 80 students, mostly girls, in two primary schools are suspected to have been poisoned over the weekend in Afghanistan’s Sang Charak district
Nearly 80 primary school students, mostly girls, are suspected to have been poisoned over the weekend and taken to hospital in Afghanistan’s Sangcharak district, Mohammad Rahmani, the head of Education Department in the northern Sar-e-Pul province, told CNN. The intelligence unit of the provincial police department said they are still investigating the matter, according to Rahmani, who said he spoke to police directly.
A doctor at Sar-i-Pul hospital confirmed to CNN that some of the girls were admitted to hospital and he believes they were poisoned based on their symptoms. The doctor spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing safety concerns. The education of girls has become a divisive issue in Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover of the country in 2021, where the group proceeded to strip away hard won freedoms for women and exclude them from public life.
