The statement said, “The Iranian nation has always fought against oppression. The events of last year clearly demonstrate the strength, will, and resilience of the Iranian nation. It has become evident that oppression only brings greater shame for the oppressors and displays their helplessness and impasse. We, the students of the University of Kurdistan, believe that the only way out of the current crisis is to recognize the rights of the Iranian people that entails freedom, democracy and free elections and unconditional release of all political prisoners and abolishment of death penalty for political prisoners, especially for the 16 Kurdish political activists.”
On the anniversary of the June 9 uprising, fearing another upheaval, the regime has deployed special anti-riot units in different parts of Tehran.
