Resolutions

Dear students,
dear employees,
dear faculty members,

The current events in Iran are filling many people with concern, grief, and great uncertainty. In recent weeks, nationwide protests have taken place in Iran, which are being brutally suppressed by the Islamic regime. Numerous people have been killed, injured, or arrested. Behind these events are people: children, parents, families, and friends.
To conceal the extent of this repression, the Iranian regime has shut down the internet and nearly all means of communication, to the point where it is barely possible even within the country to reach people by phone or text message.

Many members of the University of Kassel are also personally affected—through family, friendships, or close emotional ties. The current situation is psychologically very stressful for many of those affected and is accompanied by fear, helplessness, and great emotional strain.

We, the Iranian Community of the University of Kassel, ask for your attention to this situation. Be a voice for the freedom of the people in Iran!
As members of the university, we must not remain silent; together, we can form a strong united front of solidarity!

With hopeful regards,
Iranian Community of the University of Kassel
AStA Kassel
