A Baha'i citizen was denied university education for the tenth consecutive year.
Mahsa Forouhari, a Baha'i citizen living in Karaj, was faced with the message "file incomplete" for the tenth consecutive year after registering in the Sanjesh Organization's system and was unable to enter university and study.
According to HRANA News Agency, Ms. Forouhari has a GPA of over 19. Over the past years, she has applied many times to continue her education, but the Evaluation Organization has prevented her from continuing her education under the pretext of incompleteness of her file.
The "incomplete file" option is a trick that the Sanjesh Organization, which is in charge of holding entrance exams to Iranian universities, has been using for years to deprive Baha'i citizens from continuing their education.
According to media reports, 21 Baha'i citizens have so far announced that they encountered this message during the 2019 college entrance exam and were denied access to further education.
The Islamic Republic of Iran does not recognize the Baha'i faith, and its authorities have repeatedly called Baha'is "spies and enemies" and have issued death sentences, arrests, imprisonment, and deprivation of education and business opportunities against them.
Human rights defenders and international organizations consistently point to widespread arrests and heavy sentences against Baha'i citizens, calling the Iranian government's behavior a "systematic violation" of their rights and a violation of human rights.
