A disciplinary committee at Sajjad University in Mashhad has temporarily expelled 10 students for between 2.5 and 4 years, for their participation in the January protests, according to Iranian Telegram channels reporting the news.
A disciplinary committee at Sajjad University in Mashhad, Iran, has imposed temporary expulsions of two-and-a-half to four years on ten students for their involvement in the nationwide protests that erupted in January, as reported by Iranian Telegram channels. The January protests, which The Zioneer previously reported as spreading across major cities including Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Mashhad, represented one of the most significant challenges to the regime in recent years. The university's move appears to be part of the regime's ongoing crackdown on dissent within academic institutions, though the precise charges or legal basis for the expulsions have not been detailed. It remains unclear whether the students can appeal the decision, or whether additional disciplinary actions are pending against other participants.
