The student apparently jumped off the 4th floor suite where the office is located. She pronounced dead immediately after the fall. <\/p>\n<p>In a separate but related incident another student took his life by taking an overdose of prescription drugs in the southeastern city of Zahedan in the troubled Sistan and Baluchistan Province. <\/p>\n<p>The Lahijan student had been called for questioning to the school&#039;s security office once before according to her classmates, the state-run daily Etemaad reported on Saturday. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;The female student had been called in for questioning once before. On the day of the incident a few minutes into the questioning she took a free fall from the 4th floor,&quot; added Etemaad. <\/p>\n<p>It is the second incident in the Sistan and Baluchistan University of a student taking his own life. In April a female student committed suicide by taking sulfuric acid. According to her family she had been called to the school&#039;s disciplinary committee repeatedly.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>It is becoming a pattern among many Iranian students, in particular females, to commit suicide as a last resort to continuous harassment by the university officials. Most of such incidents take place over the unethical demands by the schools&#039; administrators from female students.<\/p>\n<p>Zanjan University was a famous case in the past week upon which the vice-president of the school tried to take advantage of a female student in his office. Other classmates came to her aide. However, the mullahs&#039; judiciary has arrested the student.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCRI &ndash; Two students took their own lives when severely pressured by the security forces in northern city of Lahijan and southeastern city of Zahedan.&nbsp; A female student whose identity [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32176,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[175],"class_list":{"0":"post-5312","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-human-rights","8":"tag-updated"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
