FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The new courses coincide with the abolition of several social science degrees
at prominent institutions, including Allameh Tabatabai University, which
will cease to offer a journalism course in the next academic year.
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has ordered a halt to the
expansion of a range of social sciences degrees, including women’s studies,
human rights and law, after declaring them “founded on materialism”
hostile to Islam.
By contrast, the jail warden courses – offered under the title “Judiciary
Aid Work” – have the highest official blessing after senior prison
officials spent three years preparing them.
Nasser Rabiei, deputy director of the Iranian prison service’s education and
research centre, told the Arman newspaper that they would bring jailing
practices “up to date”. He said 80% of enrolled students would be
recruited from among existing wardens.
The newspaper Jam-e Jam, citing official statistics, reported that 80 new
inmates are admitted to Iran’s prisons every day. It said that under the
country’s penal code, Iranians could potentially be imprisoned for more than
1,640 separate offences, many of which are not considered crimes in most
countries.
Drewery Dyke, Iran researcher at Amnesty International, said the courses could
improve some inmates’ conditions but that prisoners of conscience may not
benefit. “However much training there is, it’s not going to be
allocated to the parts of prisons controlled by the intelligence services
and revolutionary guards, where political prisoners are kept.”
