Tehran University Suspends Student for Hijab Defiance


 

The disciplinary committee of the University of Tehran has suspended a female student for not wearing a headscarf. 

Yekta Mirzaei, a sociology student was suspended from her studies for two semesters. 

The student herself confirmed the suspension in a post on her X account, citing multiple reasons for the disciplinary measure.

According to Mirzaei, the reasons include failure to observe the mandatory hijab, non-adherence to the student code of conduct, and insults to national and Islamic symbols and values.

The suspension terms stipulate that one semester is immediately enforceable. While the other semester is suspended, potentially to be enforced at a later date or under certain conditions.

Since April 13, Iran's law enforcement agencies have intensified the enforcement of hijab regulations under the national action plan "Noor."

Across Iran, there have been numerous reports of women being arrested and subjected to the use of force due to perceived violations of dress codes.

Users across social networks are participating in a spontaneous campaign using the hashtag "war against women" to document their experiences and observations regarding the government's crackdown on the opponents of mandatory hijab.
