Iran: Two students reprimanded for talking

sistan_balochestan_150NCRI – Two male and female students were reprimanded by a State Security Forces (SSF) – mullahs' suppressive police – agent and their ID cards were seized for speaking to each other on campus of Sistan and Baluchestan University in southeast Iran. They were ordered to repent their sins before God.

The agent has a long record of so-called "prevention of vice" in the university. Last year the same agent insulted a few male and female students for talking to each other. Despite the fact that the students filed a compliant against the action, the agent was never brought to justice.

Such harassment of the students is not an isolated event and with the new school year just beginning the SSF has stepped up its suppressive measures against university students.

The mullahs' regime always finds bogus reasons to impose restrictions on the public; the most recent has been the holy month of Ramadan.

Ramadan is now nears end, however, in the fist week alone, more than 50 people were lashed for eating in public according to the mullahs' prosecutor in the northern city of Tabriz.

In a figure given by the deputy chief of the SSF on September 9, nearly 26,000 citizens have already received warning citations for breaking their fast in the streets.
