Students Deserve Right to Education not Detention

(26 November 2008) The health and safety of four students detained after staging a sit-in protest against their suspension from Alameh Tabataba’i University are at risk, according to the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran.

Mahdieh Golroo, Sadiq Shojai, Saeed Feyzallahzadeh, and Majid Dari started a sit-in on 22 November. In the early hours of 25 November, security forces violently attacked them and other students who had gathered in their support and detained the four suspended students.
