Nearly 100 female students at Al-Zahra University, a women's university in Tehran, have been banned from campus after holding protests, according to the Amirkabir student leaflet. Dozens of them subsequently received heavy suspension sentences, following months of disciplinary proceedings that began during and after the war. Reports claim the university administration did not formally notify the students of the entry bans, summons to disciplinary committees, or even decisions made after they presented their arguments. Some students and their families reportedly received information about their cases through threatening calls from blocked numbers. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar student punishments at Iranian universities, including temporary expulsions at Sajjad University in Mashhad and the expulsion of two students at Amirkabir University for burning a regime flag. The veracity of the reports cannot be independently confirmed, and the full scope of the crackdown remains unclear.
