Nearly 80 primary school students, mostly girls, in Afghanistan’s Sar-e-Pul province were suspected to have been poisoned over the weekend. The students experienced symptoms like dizziness, headache, and nausea after arriving at school. They were taken to the hospital, and some were in critical condition. The authorities are still investigating the incident and are unsure about the culprit, motive, and type of poison used. The education of girls in Afghanistan has been a contentious issue since the Taliban takeover, with restrictions on their education and participation in public life. In the past, there have been poisoning attacks targeting schoolgirls in the country.
