Students pay respect to imprisoned professor Arab Mazar

A number of students at the University of Allameh Tabataba’i (ATU) remembered their imprisoned professor Arab Mazar today by sticking flowers to the door of his office and leaving messages of support.

According to Mir-Hossein Mousavi’s official website Kaleme, on the occasion of national teachers’ day in Iran, students at ATU paid their respect to their imprisoned professor who also happens to be a senior advisor of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi.

Mazar was arrested shortly after the demonstration of December 27, along with a number of Mousavi’s senior advisors and spent three months in solitary confinement.

It should be noted that after the end of their classes, Mazar’s students decided to pay a visit to his family and to show their support during these tough times.
