Protest by Former American Prisoner in Iran
Xiyue Wang, a researcher and former American prisoner in Iran, condemned Peking University’s action of awarding an honorary professorship to Ebrahim Raisi in a tweet. During Ebrahim Raisi’s visit to China, Peking University gave him the title of honorary professor.
This Chinese-American researcher wrote: Shame on Peking University, where China’s democracy movement began 100 years ago, for appointing Ebrahim Raisi, the leader of human rights suppressors in Iran. What is he supposed to teach Peking University students? How to kill protesters and how to suppress the democracy movement?
