The Telegram channel of the United Students reported that the union councils of eight universities in Tehran protested in a joint letter to Massoud Mazhikian, Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, about the clashes between security guards and students over clothing, movement restrictions and pressure on the union's activities, and demanded an end to these clashes. In this letter, the union councils at the universities warned that the increased interference in the students' daily lives in recent months, including tasteful meetings on dress matters, restricting dormitories and turning the university into an arena for political settlements, affects the dignity and peace of the university community.
The signatories also called for an end to the pressure and filing of cases against the union activists, to ensure the independence of the union councils, and to correct unfair regulations, procedures and disciplinary judgments.
This letter was signed by the Union Councils of the Universities of Science and Technology, Modras Culture, Al-Zahra, Sherif Industrial, Iranian Art, Harug Bahshti, Alma Tabatbai and Amirkabir Industrial.
