Protest of the student’s union of the University of Manitoba (Canada) against barbaric actions of the Islamic Republic
Following arresting student and worker activists and applying barbaric measures to create terror, a wave of international protests has risen against Iranian government’s medieval policies. Numerous campaigns, letters of complaint and extensive effort have started by human rights activists all around the world to stop torture and arrest in Iran.
Activists of the Communist Youth Organization have followed up this issue at the University of Manitoba and after discussion, university’s student union with 22000 members has asked the Islamic Republic through a complaint letter to stop applying barbaric measures against detained Iranian students and to release them immediately and unconditionally.
Communist Youth Organization while condemning arrest and torture of political activists, is asking for the immediate and unconditional release of these prisoners. We are calling upon all human rights activists and freedom lovers of the world to join the worker communist party’s campaign named “The International Campaign Against Islamic Republic’s Crimes”.

Please find below the letter of the student’s union of the University of Manitoba
Dear Mr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
I am writing on behalf of over 22,000 students at the University of Manitoba regarding the treatment and safety of students in Iran, in particular the arrests of Ehsan Masonry, Ahmad Ghasaban, Majid Sheikhpoor, Majid Tavakoli, Meghdad khalilpoor, and Pouyan Mahmodian. Babak Zamanian.
The University of Manitoba Students’ Union (UMSU) condemns the actions of Iranian Authorities against Iranian students. UMSU condemns the violent actions taken by Iranian Authorities which includes the kidnappings and torture of the students detained. Further, the detention of students involved in the peaceful public demonstration, is unjustified and reprehensible.
The University of Manitoba Students’ Union calls upon the Iranian Government to allow the students immediate access to medical treatment outside of prison, access to family and given access to a lawyer. We also urge the Iranian Government to order a judicial review of this case and to release the students immediately and unconditionally if the review finds that they were imprisoned solely on the expression of their held beliefs.
The mistreatment of students for standing up for their rights does not go unnoticed by the international community, and I urge you to follow international standards and end the persecution of students and activists.
I look forward to you earliest response and immediate action to address the above concerns. Furthermore, I look forward to hearing about the immediate release of the students.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Garry Sran
President University of Manitoba Students’ Union
Local 103 Canadian Federation of Students
