Maryam Karimbeigi, sister of one of the victims of the 1988 coup, was expelled from the university after a "phone call"

Reports from Iran indicate that Maryam Karimbeigi, the sister of Mustafa Karimbeigi, one of those killed in the January 2009 protests, was expelled from her university, where she was studying for a master's degree in sociology, over "a phone call."

According to some activists and Twitter users, including Atena Daemi, a former political prisoner and opponent of compulsory hijab, Maryam Karimbeigi's expulsion from the university was due to "a case recently opened against her by the Ministry of Intelligence."

Ms. Karimbeigi, a master's student in sociology at Islamic Azad University, Tehran's Science and Research Branch, had previously been threatened with expulsion from the university many times.

In early March last year, security agents raided the home of Shahnaz Akmali, the mother of Mustafa Karimbeigi, confiscating her and her daughter's personal belongings and warning that Maryam Karimbeigi must present herself to the Evin Prosecutor's Office within five days (on March 28).

This mother herself has also been tried in the past on charges such as "propaganda against the system" and has spent time in prison.
