People demonstrate in front of the Brandenburg Gate to support protests across Iran, in Berlin, Germany, Jan. 6, 2018.

 

The rally, organized by the German wing of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, followed more than a week of unrest across Iran that has seen more than 20 people die and more than 1,000 arrested, according to Iranian officials. The anti-government protests have been the largest in the past decade.

Tehran University has set up a committee to track students who had been arrested during the recent anti-government protests, university Vice President Majid Sarsangi told ISNA, according to a Reuters report.
“Our efforts at the university are aimed at cooperating with the relevant authorities to create the conditions for the return of the detained students to the university and their families in the shortest possible time,” Sarsangi told ISNA.
A member of parliament told Reuters that about 90 students had been detained during demonstrations — 10 of the students have not yet been accounted for.
