Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has condemned the ongoing crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests in US universities, urging Washington to immediately stop support for Israel.
💬 "The suppression and harsh treatment by the American police and security forces of professors and students protesting the genocide and war crimes of the Israeli regime in various universities has deeply worried and abhorred the public opinion of the world," Amir-Abdollahian wrote in a post published on social media platform X on Thursday. ● “"This repression is in line with the continuation of Washington's full-fledged support for the Israeli regime and clearly shows the double standard and contradictory behavior of the American government towards freedom of expression." ● 'The global wave of disgust towards the Israeli regime and its supporters cannot be concealed."
Police have arrested hundreds of protesters in locations across the US, as demonstrations against the war in Gaza intensify across university campuses. In the latest crackdown, some 108 arrests were made at Emerson College in Boston. Earlier, 93 people at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles were taken into custody on trespassing charges. Protesters and police also clashed at the University of Texas in Austin. Authorities said 34 people were arrested there too.
