NCRI - In an unprecedented move, the mullahs' inhuman regime has barred the student activists from enrolment, an accumulated 17 semesters.  They had participated in the recent Shiraz University protests in southern Iran.

The timing for the decision has been selected by the school in a way not to leave the subjected students any room for protest to the ruling since the New Year holidays will resume on March 21. Most of the censured students are from out of town and had left the school already for holidays.

The new ruling by the disciplinary committee comes at the time when a total of 29 student activists have been either arrested by the State Security Forces (SSF) or summoned to court. The students are from different universities and colleges in Shiraz.

The mullahs' regime, in fear of increased popular uprisings by students, workers, women and youths has turned to more suppressive measures in its faltering state.

The Iranian Resistance calls on all international human rights organizations in particular student unions to condemn such moves against the Iranian students and to defend their rights.
