Tens of college students have been kicked out of their universities over the past months because of being followers of the Baha’i faith, several human rights groups have reported.
Student Suha Izzdi, 21, has been reportedly dismissed from the University of Zanjan, only one year before her graduation, a report by the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran has claimed.
The student was studying at the Faculty of Information Technology when she was informed in a phone call from university officials that she would not be able to complete her education and that her name has been removed from the register.
Izzdi took to Twitter to express her feelings after the decision, saying “trying to get an education in a society that does not believe in women is definitely a hard thing to do.” [Al Arabiya] Read more
