Title: Sit-in and Protest Gathering by Students and Student Council Representatives at Khajeh Nasir al-Din University of Technology’s Central Building Regarding Emergency Service Issues and Ineffectiveness of University Officials Text:
On Wednesday, November 13, 2024, students at Khajeh Nasir al-Din University of Technology held a protest gathering and sit-in at the university’s central building. The protest, organized by students and student council representatives, aimed to draw attention to the problems in the university’s emergency services system and the ineffectiveness of officials in addressing these issues.
The protesting students stated that the lack of adequate response to students’ urgent health needs, particularly in critical situations, has put their well-being at risk. They demanded urgent and serious action from university officials to address these problems. On November 13, 2024, a group of students from Khajeh Nasir al-Din University of Technology, along with representatives from the student council, gathered and staged a sit-in at the university’s central building to protest against the inadequacy of the university’s emergency services and dissatisfaction with officials’ performance. The protest was partly motivated by the tragic death of "Amir Mahdi Choghini," a chemistry student at Khajeh Nasir University. After reading a statement, the students proceeded to sit-in, boycotting classes and chanting slogans.
They held several university and ministry officials, including Mohammad Shirbigi, Head of University Security; Hossein Mahdavi Moghadam, Head of Student Dormitories; the university president; and the Minister of Science and Medical Affairs, responsible for the death of this student. Demands and Motives of the Protesting Students: The primary aim of this protest gathering was to draw university officials' attention to the inadequate emergency and health services at the university. The protesting students argue that the university’s emergency facilities, particularly in urgent cases, are so limited and ineffective that, instead of ensuring students’ safety, they put them at risk.
Some students referred to past emergency cases where, due to a lack of necessary resources or delays in response, the lives and health of students were seriously endangered. Student council representatives also stated that they had repeatedly warned about these issues, but so far, university officials had taken no effective action. The main demands of the students from the university officials include:
