Two students at Amirkabir University in Tehran were expelled after allegedly burning the Islamic Republic's flag, according to The Jerusalem Post. The expulsions are part of a wider wave of student punishments across Iranian universities.
The Jerusalem Post reports that two students at Amirkabir University in Tehran were expelled after allegedly burning the flag of the Islamic Republic. The incident adds to a continuing pattern of student unrest and regime crackdowns across Iranian universities. As The Zioneer has previously reported (Jun 11), Sajjad University in Mashhad temporarily expelled ten students for participating in January protests, with suspensions lasting between 2.5 and 4 years. The latest expulsions come amid broader student-led defiance documented since early June, including protests in Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Mashhad. No official Iranian state media confirmation of the latest expulsions has been cited, and the report relies on a single source.
