Handout(LONDON) It was in early March when Fereshteh, a 42-year-old mother of two, said she received a phone call from a friend claiming there had been a chemical gas attack at a girls school in their small town in Iran s Isfahan Province. She ran all the way to her daughter s high school, fearing for her only daughter s safety.
"I felt my heart coming out of my chest with fear. I don t know how my feet dragged me to Roshana s (her daughter) school," Fereshteh said. ABC News has agreed to use pseudonyms for her and her 16-year-old daughter so that they could speak freely of their experience.
Even after finding her daughter safe, Fereshteh told ABC News she did not let either Roshana or her 11-year-old son go to school for five weeks, fearing for their wellbeing.
Over 7,000 students in Iran have been affected by at least 290 similar incidents at schools involving "poisonous substances" from November through March, according to the Human Rights Activists News Ag
