Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi appealed for national unity and tried to allay anger against the country's rulers, even as the anti-government protests that have engulfed the country for weeks continued to spread to universities and high schools.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi addresses the parliament in a vote of confidence session for his proposed labor minister in Tehran, Iran, Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2022.
"Today the country's determination is aimed at cooperation to reduce people's problems," he told a parliament session."Unity and national integrity are necessities that render our enemy hopeless." Iran's security forces have sought to disperse demonstrations with tear gas, metal pellets, and in some cases live fire, rights groups say. Iran's state TV reports that violent confrontations between protesters and the police have killed at least 41 people, but human rights groups say the number is much higher.
In one video on Monday, students marched and chanted,"Jailed students must be freed!" at Tarbiat Modares University in Tehran. In another, students streamed through Khayyam University in the conservative city of Mashhad, shouting,"Sharif University has become a jail! Evin Prison has become a university!" — referring to Iran's notorious prison in Tehran.
