Sadaf Heydari Suspended for Two Semesters
Sadaf Heydari, a student at Tabriz University, has been sentenced by the university’s disciplinary committee to a two-semester suspension from her studies. The decision was made following a post she shared on her Instagram account regarding the death of Ebrahim Raisi.
The post, which coincided with the crash of Raisi’s helicopter on May 21, led to immediate action from the university. At 9 PM that same night, her family was informed that Sadaf Heydari had not only been suspended but also expelled from her dormitory on the direct orders of the university president.
Sadaf Heydari, a student who began her studies at Tabriz University in 2021, faces a significant academic setback due to these disciplinary actions.
Shaqayeq Akbari Suspended for Four Semesters
Shaqayeq Akbari, a PhD student in Political Sociology at Tarbiat Modares University, was sentenced to a four-semester suspension by the Ministry of Science’s central disciplinary committee. The charge against Shaqayeq Akbari involved activities deemed anti-government, which she allegedly carried out through social media posts and an interview with the Ham-Mihan newspaper.
In these posts and interviews, Shaqayeq Akbari criticized the heightened security measures and the behavior of university security forces toward students.
Previously, the university’s disciplinary committee had recommended Akbari’s expulsion, but the final verdict was a lengthy suspension. This punishment also includes time from her previous 12-month suspension, potentially putting her academic future at risk.
