Iran's president calls for greater academic freedom in university address

Published October 07, 2014

TEHRAN, Iran President Hassan Rouhani has called for more academic freedom in Iran's universities, saying restrictions stifle innovation and breed sycophancy.

"Irrelevant restrictions will lead to the departure of honest, competent individuals and the promotion of ingratiating people," he said Tuesday at an event marking the start of the academic year. The speech was broadcast live on state TV.

He also complained that no student representatives were speaking at the ceremony, saying: "I am here to listen, not to make a speech. It is a matter of regret that there was no speech by student associations in today's program."

Rouhani, a relative moderate elected last year, has promised to promote greater openness in the Islamic republic but has run into fierce resistance from hard-liners in the government.

Woman goes on hunger strike in notorious Iran prison – Explosion at nuclear complex in Iran kills 2

UK citizen Ghoncheh Ghavami was visiting family and working for a charity organization in Iran when she was arrested and imprisoned for attempting to attend a men-only volleyball match last June.(Change.org)

A British-Iranian woman held in Irans notorious Evin Prison for 100 days after she tried to attend a men's volleyball game has gone on a hunger strike.

Law student Ghoncheh Ghavami, 25, was visiting family and working for a charity organization in Iran when she was arrested for attempting to attend a men-only volleyball match last June, then imprisoned for three months before being charged with propaganda against the regime.

She had attempted to enter Azadi Stadium in Tehran with a dozen other women to see the Iran mens volleyball team play Italy. Ghavamis brother, Iman, has said that the charges against his sister are ambiguous.

Government of Iran & the UK government, reads the petition posted on Change.org by Iman. "Please allow my sister to come home. She should not have been arrested for going to a volleyball match.

A law that prevents women from entering sports venues was enacted in 2012, when it was deemed that mixed crowds were "un-Islamic" because the male athletes are not considered fully dressed.

I'm a distressed brother who is fighting to bring his sister home, Iman said on the petition. My sister is a law student in University of London. She should not have been arrested in the first place and does not deserve to be in solitary.

The brother added that his sister thought she would be allowed to attend the volleyball matches because of the fact that Iran was warned about the ban by the International Federation of Volleyball.

Ghavami was originally released after being questioned for four hours when she tried to enter the stadium. The women with her were released as well. She was arrested again days later, however, when she tried to collect her belongings from a police station and her dual citizenship was discovered.
