Sanandaj- Students are protesting against the sentences passed down from a Iranian Islamic court for a number of university students. The known names and sentences are as follows: Soran Husseini, who has been given a two semester suspension; Kamran Rahmani, Payman Nehmaati, and Ako Ghayseri, each given a one semester suspension; Ehsan Ahmedi, Khusrow Elahi, Kurush Marb, and Yaser Ghulitobikh are all awaiting sentencing. Those sentenced did attempt to attend their classes but were not allowed inside, and were forcibly referred to other universities.
Mohamad Aramnusratpour, a representative of the Iranian mountain climbing team, was detained ten days ago along with another student for protesting the Iranian Islamic Regime and is being held in an unknown location.
The Human Rights Organization of Kurdistan is sorrowed to hear of this recent sentencing. We want the court to negate the sentencing and allow all students to resume their classes. We hope all students can attend school again soon.
