According to the protesters, students were promoted to the third year based on the December 2023 rules and have already written the fourth-year semester exams. “But now announcing that they are detained has created severe confusion among the students,” they said, seeking that the same regulations followed for promotions from the second year to the third year be applied for promoting students from the third year to the fourth year.
