The Integrity Commission begins an investigation into the incident of the suffocation of female students from two schools in Maysan.

The Integrity Commission announced the formation of an investigative team from the Maysan Investigation Office to investigate the circumstances of the asphyxiation cases that the female students of Al-Zahraa and Al-Shamayla schools in the governorate were exposed to. The Commission clarified in a statement received by the News Video Agency that the team began its work by conducting official communications, where it moved to the criminal evidence, environment, civil defense, and education directorates in Maysan, as well as the two schools and the nearby dairy factory. They collected initial data and information related to the incident to determine its causes and identify the negligent parties. It added that the team identified suspicions related to the failure of the concerned parties to take the necessary legal and preventive measures regarding the dairy factory and the private generator adjacent to the school, after asphyxiation cases were repeated multiple times, noting that investigations are ongoing to reach the truth and identify those at fault.
