IQNA – Hundreds of students and faculty members staged a rally in Shiraz, southwestern Iran, on April 29, 2024, to show support for campus encampment protests in the US and elsewhere.

Inspired by their peers at Columbia University, students worldwide have staged sit-ins on their campuses to protest against financial investments in companies that support the Israeli war on Gaza. Demonstrations have been organized at universities in several countries, including the US, Australia, France, and UK, in a show of solidarity with Palestine.

The Israeli regime is waging a brutal war on the besieged Gaza Strip since October 7 when Palestinian groups launched a surprise operation against occupied territories in response to decades of oppression and Israeli crimes. Israeli media say the attack killed less than 1,200 Israeli settlers and soldiers.

The Israeli aggression has killed more than 34,400 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured more than 77,500 others. The attacks have caused mass destruction in the besieged strip, internally displacing almost of all of the 2.3 million population.
