The local prison authority has recently addressed allegations regarding the denial of educational opportunities for inmates detained due to protests, providing a detailed clarification of the situation. In an official statement, the administration explained that following the admission of the affected inmates in October 2025, an awareness campaign was initiated to inform them about the registration processes for continuing their education across various levels.
The administration reported that they submitted 88 requests concerning this group of inmates to the relevant sectors, resulting in the enrollment of 21 inmates at the university level, 29 at the secondary preparatory level, and 26 at the middle school level. Notably, some of these students successfully passed their university exams, and the administration received approval for them to take the certification exams for both the third level of middle school and the baccalaureate as private candidates.
Regarding vocational training available within the institution, 11 inmates were registered who met the required legal conditions, including 7 juvenile inmates. Meanwhile, the remaining inmates from this group have either ceased their studies or expressed no desire to pursue them. The administration also emphasized its commitment to informing released inmates from this group about the necessity of enrolling in colleges or schools to continue their education, assuring them that they could return to the institution should they face any challenges. This initiative aims to ensure that every inmate has the opportunity to benefit from education and vocational training.
