Protesters defy crackdown at universities across Iran
Source: The Guardian
Students have protested at universities across Iran, defying a bloody crackdown as tensions mount on the eve of planned ceremonies marking 40 days since Mahsa Amini’s death.
“A student may die but will not accept humiliation,” demonstrators chanted at Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, in the southwestern province of Khuzestan, in an online video verified by AFP.
Young women and schoolgirls have been at the forefront of protests sparked by Amini’s death last month, after her arrest for an alleged breach of the Islamic republic’s strict dress code for women.
The 22-year-old Iranian of Kurdish origin died three days after being taken into custody by the notorious morality police on 13 September while visiting Tehran with her younger brother.
