This week students at the university protested for the release of their classmates.

Is Mahmoud listening?


Iran Focus reported on the latest protest against the Iranian regime at Amir Kabir Polytechnic University in Tehran this week:

Students from Tehran’s Amir Kabir University held a protest on campus on Tuesday, demanding that authorities release fellow pupils who had been arrested for taking part in anti-government demonstrations.

The students held photos of seven of their classmates who had been detained along with a black-and-white banner with the words, “Hey President! Release our classmates now!”

Earlier this month, students staged a large protest on campus, once again demanding that authorities free jailed students. They also called for the expulsion of the university’s chancellor and an end to the government-sponsored crackdown on student rights activists.

Polytechnic University – also known as Amir Kabir University – has been a hotbed of anti-government demonstrations in recent months.
