Using threats, intimidation, beating, and other repressive measures, the forces headed by Seyed Mohammad Moghimi have violated the students’ right to freedom of assembly.
Since the early days of the 2022-2023 uprising in Iran, Hossein Izadiar has worked with Tehran University’s security staff to repeatedly attack student gatherings and threatening them with framing a case against them. Insulting, threatening, assaulting and beating students, the security staff have either prevented them from holding gatherings or disrupted their rallies.
The 2022-23 protests began following the death of Mahsa (Gina) Amini on September 13, 2022, in the detention of the morality police of the Islamic Republic. These protests quickly spread across the country and are remembered as the largest revolutionary uprising against the government since the establishment of the Islamic Republic.
The Iranian government responded to these protests with deadly violence. According to human rights organizations, the security forces of the Islamic Republic have killed at least 551 people, with a minimum of 68 of them being children.
