Iranian universities are intensifying disciplinary action against students involved in anti-government protests, with hearings, suspensions, and expulsions reported. Scores of students are facing similar hearings for joining protests, according to Iranian student unions and outside rights monitors. The disciplinary measures followed college protests that sprouted up parallel to the wave of demonstrations that began in late December, triggered by a currency crash. Those demonstrations quickly grew into the largest nationwide protests since the 1979 Iranian revolution. Security forces crushed them by opening fire, killing thousands and arresting thousands of others.
