NCRI – The state-run website of Norouz reported that, the Central Committee of the Ministry of Science has hardened its rulings on four student activists from Tehran’s University of Science and Technology after 9 months of referral of their cases to the ministry.
Sentences are as follows: <\/p>\n
1- Pouya Sharifi: Expulsion from the University with 5 years of ban on education in any university in the country (the heaviest ruling the Central Committee of the Ministry of Science could issue for a student).<\/p>\n
2- Hamid Reza Sahraei: Banned for four semesters (dismissal from the university after the four semesters.) <\/p>\n
3- Ali Asadollahi: Banned for four semesters (dismissal from the university after the four semesters.)<\/p>\n
4- Sajjad Darvish: Banned for four semesters (dismissal from the university after the four semesters.)<\/p>\n
The sentence on Pouya Sharifi prevents him from continuing his study at the graduate school of Amir Kabir University.
Pouya Sharifi was one of the student activists at the University of Science and Technology was previously the managing editor of the “Jomhouri" publication. <\/p>\n
Hamid Reza Sahraei has been a Mechanical Engineering student since 2006 is former Secretary of Trade Union Council and managing director of the banned weekly "Pouyesh."<\/p>\n
Ali Asadolahi, railway engineering student since 2007, former secretary of the Poetry Club of the University and a journalist. <\/p>\n
Sajjad Darvish, industrial engineering student since 2007, managing director of banned magazine "Teria" is a student activist from University of Science and Technology. <\/p>\n
Last September, following harsh sentences issued by the disciplinary committee of the University of Science and Technology for these students, their cases were referred to the Ministry of Science for even more strict rulings. Since then they were banned from the university and student dormitory. <\/p>\n
Pouya Sharifi, a graduate student, was not allowed to attend his own hearing and in one case he was not even called in to hear charges pressed against him. By law, charges have to be made within a month and in the case of the aforementioned students it took 9 months. These are some of the unlawful practices commonly conducted by authorities in Iran. <\/p>\n
These students are charged with acting against national security, causing anxiety, disturbing public order, and provoking and leading student protests before and after June 2009 presidential election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
