Nora Sabet, 18, was banned from entering university despite gaining the required grades to enter medical school. She wrote: “I am Nora Sabet and like my friends, I was banned from entering university because of my Baha’i faith. It is now the 35th year that we have to endure the bias…
This year, despite Rouhani’s promises nothing has changed. As an Iranian that wants to serve her country, must I go abroad to continue my studies? We want to live alongside our Muslim and non-Muslim compatriots. This is part of the pressure put on Baha’is by the Iranian government. Dear friends; ending such suffering is in need of the solidarity and unity of all Iranians. Breaking the silence will bring change to the society and strengthen our collective power to build the future of our beloved nation.
With hopes of a society far from discrimination and prejudice.”
