Baghdad, Iraq: Dozens of Iraqi university students and professors rallied Thursday at a Baghdad campus in solidarity with Gaza and pro-Palestinian protests at US universities, AFP correspondents said.
Iraqi Education Minister Naeem al-Aboudi earlier this week expressed his support for the "free voices in universities" around the world, and called for protests in solidarity with the embattled Gaza Strip.
Students at Al-Nahrain University waved the Palestinian and Iraqi flags.
"With all that is happening to our people in Gaza... of course I must be among the first to come to raise our voice," student Aya Kader, 20, said.
"It is very positive to see the Palestinian flag being waved at American universities," she said.
