Many university teachers increased the level of challenge to the authorities with the daily protests that have erupted in Iran, particularly in universities and in the northwest of the Kurdish country, in the wake of the execution of the Kurdish young woman, Muhsa Amini, in mid-September.
A declaration signed by almost 600 university academics and researchers from across the nation demanded the revocation of “all orders imposed against the civil rights of students.”
They also requested that hundreds of students and students be released “without conditions or with conditions for all detained.”
Universities recently emerged as the main protest hotspots in the nation.
Students from Sharif University in Tehran participated in a sit-in on Sunday to show support for their imprisoned classmates.
University students in Babylon, in the north of the country, took down the gender boundaries that had been put up in the cafe, putting the law into effect, according to the Norwegian-based “Human Rights Organization in Iran”.
It is significant that there have been no protests nationwide since Amini was assassinated on September 16, three days after her detention by the Ethics Police.
Her passing has since stoked the flames of resentment over a number of issues, including the limitations placed on individual freedoms and stringent regulations regarding women’s attire, as well as the living and economic crisis that the Iranian people experience, without even mentioning the extremist laws imposed by the system of government and its overall political and religious makeup.
While the demonstrators were fiercely resisted by the security forces, who also arrested hundreds and killed scores of them.
Human Rights Activists (Herna) announced that 314 demonstrators were killed in the turmoil until Friday, including 47 minors.
392 students were among the 14,170 individuals who were detained during the protests that broke out in 136 cities, towns, and 134 universities.
Iranian university academics protest. They let the students go.
