A group of 90 professors at Iran’s oldest university have written a letter of protest to the government over recent violence against students and professors. The letter to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei asks that Revolutionary Guards and others such as militiamen be removed from the campus of Teheran University. The letter “is a rare and significant showing of discontent among Teheran University’s academics,” reports CNN. It was posted on the “Green Path” reformist web site.
