Iran: Proteste gehen auch nach vier Wochen weiter

Auch nach über vier Wochen gehen die Proteste im Iran weiter:

The protests in Iran that started in mid-September over the death of a young woman in police custody have spread to universities, which have been a historic hotbed of unrest in the country during times of upheaval.

Social media users have shared videos of university students across the country protesting, including in major cities such as Esfahan and Tehran. The slogans have become more determined as well, with chants such as “This is the year of blood, Seyyed Ali will be overthrown,” in reference to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and “We’ll fight, we’ll fight, we’ll take Iran back.” 

One of the more chaotic scenes took place at Sharif University of Technology in Tehran. Typically noted for housing some of the brightest minds in the country, it has become known lately as a major battleground in the protests. Earlier in October, reports came out of the university of mass arrests after students had protested in support of Mahsa Amini, the young woman who died after being apprehended by the country’s infamous morality police. The country’s riot police descended upon the university, apprehending all protestors. 

An den Universitäten wehren sich Studentinnen und Studenten außerdem gegen die verordnete Geschlechtertrennung:

Boys and girls at Tehran's Amirkabir University sat next to each other at the university's restaurant and sang Shervin Hajipour's protest song together in defiance of the gender segregation rules of the Islamic Republic.
