Where is my classmate?
Around 100 students are currently in prison. Over 100 have been expelled and an unaccounted number have been banned from entering universities in IRAN.
Let them hear your voices, as you have heard their voices, on December 7 or 16 Azar, Student Day in Iran.
In response to the persistent harrasment of Iranian students, we have held a protest of empty chairs at the Rietveld Academy of Art and Design in Amsterdam. Students would enter the building and see a class of empty chairs. Some of them would read the information and get on with their business. Others would also sit down and write something for a student in Iran. These messages will be sent to a few of them or their families. We hope that more students will join us and send their letters and pictures so that they can be uploaded on this and other websites. Please send e-mails to info@politicsofresistance.com.
