PARIS: Students protested at universities across Iran on Tuesday despite a bloody crackdown and as tensions mounted on the eve of planned ceremonies marking 40 days since Mahsa Amini's death.

'A student may die, but they will not accept humiliation,' students at Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, in the southwestern Iranian province of Khuzestan, chanted in an online video verified by Agence France-Presse (AFP).
