Tehran, 08 June_Iranian academics have paid tribute to George Floyd, the most recent victim of racism in the United States, voicing solidarity with the thousands of American protesters who have taken to the streets in the aftermath of Floyd’s gruesome murder.
The Iranian professors and personalities remembered the victim during ceremonies jeld across various representative offices of the country’s academic society.
Seven candles were lit during the ceremonies to mark the seven minutes that it took for Floyd to die at the hands of the police in Minneapolis on May 25.
