 The Media Express, October 10, 2016 - The Iranian government closed down the Society of Graduates in Sharif University of Technology, one of the most important technological establishments in Iran, after it published a photo of Maryam Rajavi , the president-elect of the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI), in its most recent book listing former graduates.

The portrait of Mrs. Rajavi, who was featured in the section listing the graduates of the Faculty of Metallurgy Engineering, was accompanied by a text describing her as the “number one enemy” of the Islamic Republic.
“As soon as we were informed of the distribution of a number of this publication among the students,” said University President Hamod Fotohi, “we ordered its further distribution to be blocked.” All the copies that had already been distributed were collected and transferred to the school’s Herasat Office (a department found in most Iranian universities that is tied to the Ministry of Intelligence and the security apparatus).
“We seized the activity of the Society of Graduates,” said Fotohi. “[They] must be held accountable for what they have done. We will follow up to find out why this has happened.  We will certainly deal with those responsible for printing of the photo and the publication of the book.” Fotoho added that the Ministry of Intelligence would be involved in the follow-up investigation.
