Forough Khosravi, a primary school teacher from Behbahan who worked in schools in Aghajari, has been dismissed from the Ministry of Education. According to her newly issued employment ruling, her employment status has been terminated under the designation “contract cancellation.”
The decision was communicated even though Khosravi had previously been sentenced in a separate case to a four-month temporary suspension from her teaching position. Her dismissal was carried out without following standard legal procedures and was based solely on a confidential letter. According to individuals close to her, she was never provided with a copy of the document.
Forough Khosravi had previously faced both judicial and security-related cases. A 15-year prison sentence issued against her in one case was suspended, while in another case she was sentenced to a four-month temporary suspension from public service due to her online activities and the expression of her views.
