Dalarna University deeply concerned by the current situation facing students and university staff in Iran

Student demonstrations continue to take place in Iran. International media have reported that Iranian security forces have used tear gas and shot at students who are protesting at Sharif University of Technology in Tehran.

Dalarna University is strongly committed to upholding democratic and human rights, and the right to freedom of expression and non-violent protest. The University strongly condemns the current violence in Iran and denounces it as unacceptable.

The current protests against the regime began after Mahsa Jîna Amini was detained by the Iranian moral police and then died later in custody.

Dalarna University stands united with the Association of Swedish Higher Education Institutions (SUHF) in its opposition to these recent events.
