Hundreds of minors have been detained for joining the demonstrations, and many others have died in the crackdown, according to Iranian lawyers and rights activists.
Iran is also a signatory to the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child, and its targeting and treatment of children, Mr. Raeesi said, violates its obligations.
The New York Times documented 23 raids on high schools in cities across Iran, where plainclothes militia and intelligence agents interrogated, beat and searched students or where school authorities threatened or attacked students.
In one incident, a Tehran elementary school was attacked last month when security forces threw tear gas in its yard during recess because students were chanting anti-government slogans, according to a parent whose third-grade son attends the school.
The regime in Tehran is so fearful of its children that its security forces have been unleashed upon them causing hundreds of deaths, an unknown number of imprisonments and who knows how many injuries.
