Freie Universität Berlin has expressed solidarity with the people of Iran and denounced the violence that has been inflicted on Iranians by state forces. “The dignity of every human being, freedom of expression, and academic freedom are inseparable. They belong together, and because of this deep connection, which also forms the bedrock of Freie Universität Berlin, we condemn any acts of repression and violence against science, against women, and against free speech, as well as acts against the free development of an individual’s personality,” says president of Freie Universität Berlin, Professor Günter M. Ziegler. The university will be participating in an international show of solidarity called the “Campus Rally for Iran” organized by the organization “Iranian Scholars for Liberty” on November 30, 2022, with a live event on Twitter Spaces at 11:30 a.m.
