As details of the death toll for January’s protests continue to emerge, three students explain why they are resisting a return to normality
More than 45 days after a brutal January crackdown that left thousands of Iranian protesters dead, students across several universities are protesting again. As Iran’s new academic term began on Saturday, students in Tehran gathered on campus, chanting anti-government slogans, despite a heavy security presence and plainclothes officers stationed outside university gates.
The Guardian spoke to protesting students about why they were rallying despite the fact that thousands had been killed and tens of thousands arrested in the January demonstrations.
“Our classrooms are empty because the graveyards are full,” said Hossein*, 21, a student at the University of Tehran. “It’s for them – our friends, classmates and compatriots, who were gunned down in front of our eyes, that we decided to boycott the classes.”

Keep believing that everything is Russian propaganda while your own country guts your welfare, your rights, destroys its economy and supports genocide in Palestine lmfao. Por quinta y última vez, soy español cojones. This is my alt from hexbear @[email protected] feel free to check out my latest post discussing the Spanish civil war with Spanish sources, freaking paranoid Finn
Keep the workers distracted from questioning why they have no rights. Couldn’t be the rich in america, it’s clearly Russia’s fault that the hillbilly state senators in texas hate minorities. Couldn’t be home grown capitalism, it’s Russian!
Ofc it fucking does. But “Europe” isn’t a country, is it, dipshit? Europe isn’t a hegemony. You need a hegemony for proper propaganda. How is this so hard for you to understand? Are you honestly so willfully ignorant you don’t know what “hegemony” means that you won’t spend 10 seconds checking the meaning? :D
What does discussing the Spanish civil war have to do with Russians being ashamed of being loser Ruskis? Either you’re a super shamed Ruski, or even worse, a European who’s bought into their propaganda. (I genuinely think the latter is worse tbh.)
It’s a great burger btw.
Russian disinfo is objectively massive. Yet you’re literally defending it like a conditioned dog.
