Parham Fazlali and Prisa Emadi are banned from their studies at Tarbiat-Moalem University of Hesarak because of their Baha’i faith.
RAHANA - Parham Fazlali, computer science student in his eighth [and final] term at Tarbiat-Moalem University of Hesarak in Karaj, and Parisa Emadi, Persian literature student at the same university in her eighth [and final] term, have been banned from entering the university grounds since March 5, 2010.
It was announced to Parham Fazlali and Parisa Emadi on February 19, 2010 that they were suspended, but no reason was given to them. The two students, due to an official written notice [given to them] that did not state clear reasons, still attended university until March 8th when the university security forces did not allow them to enter [the campus].
According to a RAHANA reporter, the two students went to the investigations office and asked Mr. Nourbakhsh for the reasons of the ban. Mr. Nourbakhsh told them it is because of their Baha’i faith.
Recently, Mohammad Javad Larijani, the head of the Iranian delegation for human rights council in Geneva, has said that no one is banned from entering a university because of their Baha’i faith.
