The schoolgirls they walked out of school for an “ideological event” held in a place known for holding protests after death of Mahsa Amini, who died on September 16, three days after her arrest by the morality police in Tehran for not wearing her headscarf properly.
Some of the schoolgirls who “shouted slogans against discrimination and inequality” were “victims of violence and insults by women covered in headscarves and dressed in political clothes,” according to a statement released by the union on Monday.
When they returned to school, the schoolgirls were beaten again, continues the union in its announcement.

“If Mr. Daei has evidence for what he says about the death of the Ardabil schoolgirl, he should present it to the relevant authorities as soon as possible,” the Iranian judicial authority reacted to the Mizan Online website, characterizing the former soccer player’s statements “fake news”.
In another statement issued on Tuesday, the teachers criticized the school’s decision to take female students to an “ideological event” without their parents’ consent and underlined: “We call on the authorities to put an end to the killing of innocent people and defenseless protesters.”
At least 23 children have been killed in the crackdown on protests by Iranian security forces, according to Amnesty International.
