NCRI – Two 12-year-old pupils from Kouhrang town in Chaharmahal & Bakhtiari Province (western Iran) lost their toes on Thursday, February 6, in the frost because of a punishment handed down by a Basij force element.
The cruel Basiji teacher asked the pupils to write a composition on the anniversary of the mullahs coming to power and show their support for the regime.
Two of the pupils who were unwilling or could not write such a composition were ordered to shovel the snow in the schoolyard as punishment.
This chore lasted three hours and caused both of these children, who had torn shoes, to lose some of their toes due to frost. Moreover, this member of the Basij punished some other students by ordering them to remove their clothes and stand outside in the cold snowy weather to make an example of them for the other pupils.
Ms. Soheila Sadegh, Chair of the Education Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, expressed her revulsion regarding this callousness by the Basij member against the country’s innocent pupils and said: “The clerical regime ruling Iran is built on suppression, torture and execution and no generation is safe from the barbarianism and callousness that rules Iran. The children of Iran, who have faced this brutish suppression in the country from their childhood, all through school, high school and university, as well as in different social realms, have found their only remedy from all the agonies of the mullahs’ rule in a change of the regime and its downfall in its entirety.”
