From students decrying tuition hikes to retirees demanding fair pensions, the protests signal a growing wave of discontent across the nation. The demonstrations on October 20 reflect ongoing economic struggles and frustrations with perceived government inaction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In <strong>Tehran<\/strong>, students from Azad University resumed their protests, rallying against a sudden 200% increase in tuition fees. The students gathered near the Pasteur Area, holding banners and chanting slogans denouncing the hike, which they argue makes education inaccessible for many. The tuition increase has sparked outrage among students and their families, who accuse the university administration of failing to inform them about the changes in advance. The sharp fee rise from 30 million to 90 million tomans per semester has been criticized as a move to further commercialize education and marginalize economically disadvantaged students.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">October 20\u2014Tehran, Iran<br \/>Students of Azad University continue rallies to protest the sudden spike in tuition fees.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranProtests?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranProtests<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WXnNw5XHl1\">pic.twitter.com\/WXnNw5XHl1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1847963923896582485?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 20, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Retirees and pensioners of the Social Security Organization also staged protests in <strong>Shush, Khuzestan Province, <\/strong>and <strong>Ahvaz<\/strong>, demanding higher pensions in accordance with existing laws.
