We have neither the right to education nor the right to live in the city we love
In the ongoing wave of suppression of students by the intelligence and security institutions of the Mullah regime, eight medical students in Tabriz have been sentenced to academic suspension and exile to the cities of Ahvaz, Semnan, Kashan, Urmia, and Ardabil.
These unjust verdicts were issued after these students protested the widespread poisoning of schools during a gathering on March 7, 2023.

After the widespread arrests and imprisonment of students who had been at the forefront of the 2022-2023 uprising, the Iranian regime has begun depriving students of education to exert more pressure on this intellectual and freedom-loving class. Among those who were denied education are a considerable number of female students.
