After protests by a number of university students in Mashhad to the burial of the bodies of unidentified Iran-Iraq war soldiers in their university, 13 students of the Sajad University were expelled.
According to reports, the head of the university’s Protection Department called the homes of 13 students on May 15 and announced that expulsion sentences had been issued for them on charges of ‘insulting sanctities’.
Notably, last week during a ceremony to bury the bodies of these soldiers, a group of students protested against the burial. (Jaras Website – May 17, 2011)
