Next, Dr. Masoumeh Ebtekar, referencing the month of Muharram, stated: The uprising of Imam Hussein (PBUH) serves as a model not only for student movements but also for every free person, and the philosophy of freedom, liberation, and emancipation from humiliation against the enemy is inspired by the philosophy of Ashura.
