News Center- Tabriz University's Students’ Council has announced on its Telegram channel that at least 16 students have been suspended from Tabriz University of Medical Sciences for protesting the poisoning of schoolgirls in Iran and Rojhelat Kurdistan.

The council also said that at least 16 students protesting the chemical attacks against girls’ schools have been suspended from the university for one term and two terms.

According to the statement released by the council, more students may be suspended from the university by the disciplinary committee of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.

 The protests that started in Iran and Rojhelat following the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini by Iran’s so-called “morality police” on September 16, 2022, continues. Since the beginning of the protests, women and students have been at frontline and they have been subjected to arrest, torture, rape, kidnapping and murder by the regime forces.

The Iranian regime keeps carrying out inhuman practices against especially students for their leading role in the nationwide protests. Since November, many schoolgirls have been poisoned at schools in Iran and Rojhilat.

On Sunday, April 9, at least 47 students were taken to hospital after being poisoned at six girls’ schools in Saqqez and other cities of Rojhelat Kurdistan. 20 students are reportedly in critical condition.
