Around 100 students are in prison, over 100 have been expelled, and an unaccounted number have been banned from entering university and dormitory grounds, all because of non-academical reasons such as political issues and criticizing the government after the disputed presidential election in 2009.
In the University of Calgary we are going to set up a small exhibition in MacEwan Student Center on December 7 all day long, to chat with people and give students around the world an idea about student movement in Iran and its demands.
The theme of the event will be the “Empty Chair” as a symbol of the students who are absent.
