Human Rights Activists in Iran

On Saturday, April 10, 2010, the principal of the Norolhoda School for Gifted Students in Bandar Abas gathered the students and asked them to cut off their relations with Athena Bahmani, the 14 year-old daughter of jailed human rights activist Sama Bahmani.

The principal of the school made accusations against the Bahmani family and Sama Bahmani.

In a phone call by the Bahmani family to the school principal to object this issue, the head of the school said that this was done on the request of higher officials and said that because she interfered in this issue, Athena has been permitted to take her finals exams without participating in any classes and after that, despite the fact that she has excelled in this school in the past three years, she will be expelled
