University of Tehran Students Vahid Rostami and Amirmohammad Karimi Arrested Amid Systematic Repression
Students Vahid Rostami and Amirmohammad Karimi were arrested between April and May 2026 as the regime intensifies its crackdown on academic freedom. Rostami remains in custody without known charges, while Karimi was suspended for two semesters following an illegal in-absentia disciplinary hearing. These actions highlight a strategy to treat universities as frontlines for suppressing free thought rather than centers of education. By employing arbitrary detentions and academic bans, the state seeks to neutralize student movements. This escalating pressure reveals a structural fear of the university, which remains a resilient hub of resistance against political stagnation despite decades of systemic suppression.
