UEF condemns violent actions against protesters in Iran

The University of Eastern Finland condemns violence against protesters in Iran. Protests have outpoured around Iran after the death of 22-year-old Masha Amini following her arrest by the morality police for improper use of the hijab.

The University of Eastern Finland is an international and multicultural community with students and staff members representing over 100 nationalities. The recent events in Iran are causing concern within our community.

There are Iranian students, doctoral researchers and staff members in our academic community, and we wish to express our support to them and their families, and to everyone in our academic community who are concerned about the events in Iran.
