Nargis Mohammadi, the vice president of the Human Rights Defenders Association, was transferred from prison to a hospital on Sunday due to severe uterine bleeding and underwent surgery. However, two days after the surgery, on Wednesday, she was returned to Evin Prison. She was under the supervision of security agents in the hospital and was deprived of family visits. According to the Bahai News website, several Bahai citizens have recently been denied the right to continue their education at university, including Farzad Safaei, a student at Ahvaz Azad University, Vafa Hoidayi, a student at Amir Kabir University in Tehran, and Vasal Laghai Far, a student at Amir Kabir University in Tafresh. However, Bahai citizens are not the only ones being denied education. Farshid Yadollahi and Mostafa Daneshju, two lawyers for the Gonabadi Dervishes, have also recently been barred from continuing their studies in criminology and criminal law. A number of Gonabadi Dervish students published a statement last week in defense of the right to education and called on supporters to express their solidarity by signing it.
