It could have been worse. Today, students in countries like Iran and Zimbabwe are threatened to silence with imprisonments and expulsions. Simply for speaking out and voicing their opinion.

SAIH believes that students who have been expelled due to their commitment to human rights should be able to complete their education in Norway. Sign the petition here
