\n Statement on the Events in Iran\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

The news of violent acts in Iran \u2013 including on Iranian university campuses \u2013 is upsetting and distressing, especially for those in the Carleton community who have close ties with the country. We fully support Canada’s foreign affairs minister in condemning the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman in Iranian police custody, as well as the state\u2019s subsequent violent measures against civilian and student protests. We stand in solidarity with Iranian students, faculty, staff, alumni and citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carleton University is strongly opposed to all acts of violence and committed to the rights and freedom of women \u2013 and all human rights – around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those in need are encouraged to reach out for support:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
