Hundreds of Tehran University students protest a decision to hold online classes and close the university for three weeks at Fatemi (women’s) and Chamran (men’s) dormitories in Tehran University.
Students are holding night rallies protesting the university officials’ decision to close face-to-face classes and hold them online after the Nowruz holidays, from April 3-24, 2023.
The clerical regime appears to have made the decision to call off university classes, fearing the consequences of the free fall in the value of the country’s currency, inflation, and high prices on the eve of the Iranian New Year, as well as the arrival of the Feast of Fire traditions celebrations.
Students are holding rallies outside their dormitories. They chant, “Students are aware of their rights,” “Students cry out and demand your rights,” “Face-to-face education is our unalienable right,” etc.
