Fired Iranian Professor Says High-Tech Surveillance, Dismissals Used To 'Impose Silence' At Universities

Behrouz Chamanara, a language professor at Kurdistan University in western Iran, was arrested, interrogated, and ultimately dismissed from his position after the authorities suspected he and other professors were pushing students to participate in antiestablishment protests. In an interview with RFE/RL's Radio Farda from Germany, Chamanara describes the methods the government uses to silence dissent at Iranian universities, including high-tech surveillance, arrests, and the dismissal of professors like himself.
