Washington, DC – Today, the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans (PAAIA) issued the following statement in response to disturbing reports of a violent siege conducted this past weekend by Iranian security forces against students at universities in Tehran who were peacefully protesting:
“What happened at the universities in Tehran this past weekend is incredibly horrifying.” PAAIA said, adding “we condemn the reprehensible use of violence against peaceful protesters in Iran.”
