Against the dictatorial government of Iran and for freedom
Support the student's struggle in Iran!
Demonstration in London
Where: In front of the Iranian embassy
Prince Gate (Kensington Gore), London, SW7
When: Wed. December 7 , 12:00 – 2:00
Universities in Iran are main battlefields in people's struggle
against religious dictatorship and students are unmistakable forces of
this fight. December 7 is, therefore, a very important day. It is
student's day. In the past few years students' struggle against the
reactionary rule of Islamic regime, has increased intensively.
Every year on December 7, students meetings and demonstrations are met
with the bloody iron fists of the regime, which brutally sheds blood
in the streets, kills and injures protesting students. Many students
have suffered long years of imprisonment and torture for standing up
and demanding a better life. Despite this, the fight goes on and
students
are preparing for an other remarkable students day, by organising
meetings and marches widely in the country.
With the beginning of a new academic year, the Islamic republic has
once again taken up its policy of oppression and terror in the
universities. Intelligence and security forces are operating widely
and restrictions about Islamic veiling and segregation of the sexes
are severely observed and any signs of resistance brutally suppressed.
In the recent weeks two female students have been killed in relation
to the Islamic Hejab. The tragic death of Azade Vazifedoost resulted
in students' outrage and more than three thousands of them took to the
streets in Saveh to protest against the sexual apartheid and
misogynist treatment under the Islamic regime. Another young student
in Kerman has been attacked by the morality squad who cut her using a
sharp blade and killed her on the spot.
These are only two very recent examples of Islamic regimes criminal
behaviour against students and in particular female students.
On either side of this battlefield forces are preparing themselves for
a hard fight. Students are trying to organise protests and meetings
and demonstrations in all corners of the country to show their
opposition and the government is getting ready to crush them as
brutally as usual. University grounds look more like military bases
with special police forces swarming around them.
Students in Iran need your support. Do not leave them alone in their
fight against this anti-humanitarian regime and for freedom. Support
them in any way you can. Send them your solidarity letters. Condemn
the Islamic government for its behaviour against students. Demand the
immediate release of all detained students. Support students' demands
for the withdrawal of all religious laws and regulations from
universities, the immediate end to segregation of women and men and
compulsory veiling.
Show your support!
Let the students know that they are not alone!
