Teachers committee invites Iranians to mark anniversary of student uprising

NCRI – In a statement, the Committee of Free Teachers of Iran has called on the Iranian people from all walks of life to commemorate the student uprising of July 8, 1999 and protest the continued arrest of teachers.

Part of the statement to the Iranian people reads, “Your sons and daughters are the teachers of this society and will leave a tradition of perseverance and resistance in practice for their students just as was done by the freedom-loving teacher, Farzad Kamangar. These teachers will not trade their life for sacrificing freedom.”

The statement calls on all human rights organizations to intervene immediately and prevent the arbitrary arrest of teachers and the continued detention of all political prisoners by the regime.
