Iran lawmaker tells protesting students to stop and ‘go study’
An Iranian lawmaker told protesting students on Sunday to stop their demonstrations and return to their studies, saying there was no other option.
“Our advice is that students should stop protesting and go study, because there is no other choice and protests are useless,” said Abdolvahid Fayyazi, a member of Iran parliament’s education and research committee.
High school students in about 20 Iranian provinces have been holding protests against education policies, final exam rules and changes affecting the national university entrance exam, with some gatherings met by violence and arrests.
