Statement of Support for Iran

The Capilano Faculty Association, Local 01 in the Federation of Post Secondary Educators (FPSE), has issued the following Statement of Support for Iran:

“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 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”
