Bicocca endorses CRUI and SAR Italy's statements on Iran

The University of Milan Bicocca publicly endorses the position expressed by the Italian section of Scholars at Risk (SAR Italy), sharing the international academic community's concern over the current violations of the human rights of students and staff of Iranian universities, higher education institutions and secondary schools.

"The demonstrations against the regime - CRUI declares - started after 22 year-old Mahsa (Jhina) amini was detained by the Iranian morality police over an alleged violation of Iran’s restrictive hijab laws, and later died in custody on September 16. Iranians across the country have taken to the streets to express their anger over the lack of human rights, with the slogan, “Woman, Life, Freedom.”
