Fostering academic freedom in Iranian universities and Introducing Academic Suppressors
University students are on the front line of the Women, Life, Freedom uprising in Iran. Many students have been harshly targeted by the Islamic Republic’s officials and university administrators. ICOIA intends to foster human rights conditions in Iran’s universities by monitoring, reporting, and collecting evidence of such violations. We invite students, faculty, and staff to submit any case of human rights violations along with the proper documentation through our website.
Based on these reports, ICOIA releases a list of academic oppressors who have actively engaged in suppression and undermining academic freedom, freedom of speech, and freedom of assembly.

A growing number of Iranian students are being suspended or expelled due to widespread protests across Iranian universities since September 2022. The ICOIA is working to identify and link suspended and expelled students with volunteer Iranian academics around the world to work on joint education and/or research projects. This will empower the students and provide them with unique and valuable international education and research experience. If you are a student that has been suspended or expelled from your university program, please get in touch.

Collaboration with Mardom Foundation
The ICOIA will act as a consultant and peer reviewer for the Mardom Foundation. Freedom of information as a basic human right is high on our agenda, woven into the raison d'etre behind establishing the ICOIA. Mardom Foundation is a newly established group of volunteers, whose aims and objectives revolve around raising awareness through the collection and sharing of reliable data and information on Iran, to advance the transition to democracy. The collaboration with the Mardom Foundation includes providing feedback on survey design, sampling, data analysis methods, and peer review of the outputs to enhance their accuracy and validity. The collaboration is expected to provide a clearer picture of the current situation in Iran and to increase awareness about enablers, barriers and requirements of a smooth transition to democracy in Iran.
