Iran on Saturday lodged a protest with Moscow regarding what it described as the “violent” arrest of Iranian students at a university in the Russian city of Kazan.
Edum News gathered that two Iranian students who visited a visa extension centre at Kazan Federal University on Friday were arrested after being subjected to “inhumane and unprofessional beating” by the police.
In response Iran submitted “a protest note” to the Russian Foreign Ministry condemning the “violent treatment of the Iranian students by the police,” requesting explanation into the incident.
The two students were released late on Friday following interventions by the consulate.
