Two Female Students among the Expelled Students
Seven students at Tehran’s Sharif University of Technology have been expelled by the disciplinary committee. They included two female students, Fatemeh Khakpour and Parnian Khodabakhshi.
Parnian Khodabakhshi, a materials science and engineering student, has been expelled and handed a 5-year ban from academic education.
Fatemeh Khakpour, an undergraduate chemistry student, has also been expelled.
The rulings issued for these seven students of Sharif University of Technology follow a wave of crackdown on students after the January 2026 nationwide uprising. These sentences issued hastily without any fair trial or due process, solely serve to silence the voice of student protest.
The Situation at Khajeh Nasir University
A similar situation unfolds at Khajeh Nasir University. A number of protesting students are facing physical bans from entering the university campus, in addition to having disciplinary files opened against them.
Some of these students had previously been deprived of dormitory housing, with their educational and welfare services completely cut off.
Since January 2026, dozens of students at Khajeh Nasir University have faced campus entry bans, and some of them were barred without even being summoned to the disciplinary committee.
