Therefore, the present study descriptively and analytically seeks to answer the question of whether convicts can be denied access to the right to education as an accessory punishment. Findings show that deprivation of education is not an example of deprivation of enumerated social rights in Article 26 of the Islamic Penal Code; the bill also violates domestic law and international documents to eliminate undue discrimination, provide fair access for all, equal civil, social and cultural rights, and the provision of higher education facilities.
