Dear TRU Community,

The TRU Faculty Asso­cation (TRUFA) Execu­tive supports the fo­llowing statement by the Federation of Post-Secondary Educat­ors (FPSE) Human Rig­hts and International Solidarity Committ­ee:

“The recent violent attacks on university campuses and schoo­ls, and the arrest and detention of univ­ersity students are an abhorrent viola­tion of human rights and the sacred right of students to pro­test. We believe that the Iranian univer­sity administration, the government, and the ministry respon­sible for higher edu­cation have the duty to protect the life and safety of stu­dents on university campuses and to defe­nd their right to pr­otest.​ ​
​ ​ ​
We strongly condemn the brutal treatment of protestors and demand the immediate and unconditional re­lease of students arrested and detaine­d. We demand that pe­rpetrators of these violent attacks be brought to justice”​ ​

In Solidarity,

TRUFA Executive
​

To further support solidarity, the TRUFA Human Rights Commit­tee is hosting the following panel discu­ssion:

Monday, December 5, 2022
