Tehran — IRNA reports that death does not recognize age, time, or place, yet the killing of many students at a school is unacceptable. The shelling of a school that plays no role in war is hard to believe. The massacre of the children of Shajar-e Tayyiba Minab is a heavy wound that will never fully heal in our hearts. A short film set to remind the world of the innocence of the victims seeks a response commensurate with humanity. Now the world faces the empty benches of Shajar-e Tayyiba Minab Elementary School.
