Während des Gebetsrufs geklatscht – Proteste an iranischen Universitäten flammen wieder auf 24.02.2026

Protests against the Iranian theocracy have reignited at universities following a brutal crackdown in early January. Demonstrations erupted over the weekend and escalated on Monday at at least three universities, including Sharif University, where students chanted slogans and clapped during the Muslim call to prayer, with some displaying monarchist symbols. At Tehran University, a protest during a memorial for a student killed in earlier demonstrations called for the overthrow of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, echoing the "Woman, Life, Freedom" slogan from 2022. Verified videos also showed protests at Al-Sahra University supporting exiled opposition figure Reza Pahlavi, son of the former Shah. These renewed demonstrations occur amidst ongoing international discussions regarding Iran's nuclear program.
