the children of Minab; Absent always present

Saeed Zar Kandjani - IRNA reporter

Today the school bell rang again; A familiar voice calling children all over Iran from their homes to the classroom, to benches and new notebooks. But in Minab, at the Shajra Taiba school, this year the benches of one school are empty; There is no place for girls who had to start the first day of school with small bags and braided hair laughing and shouting.
