Afghanistan: another 97 students poisoned

 Despite the claims that we are making progress in Afghanistan, these poor girls are continually tortured and abused, all because they dare to want an education and we dare to try and give it to them.

More victims of the religion of peace, and the world stays silent.

At least 97 students of the Bashirabad girls’ high school in the northern province of Takhar were poisoned on Saturday, officials said.

Seven schoolgirls are in critical condition while the rest were discharged from hospital after treatment, Public Health Director Habibullah Rostaqi told Pajhwok Afghan News.

Education Director Abdul Wahab Zafari said most of the 8th grade and 10th grade students were victims to Saturday’s poisoning.

With the latest case, the number of poisoned school girls over the past one month had reached 400, he said.
