We shouldn't be unfair, [Iranian officials] have kept their promise in this regard. There are professors in there, students; and it's the hangout of artists and thinkers. It has a great pluralistic atmosphere when it comes to thinking.
I wish there'd be another cultural revolution and they would shut down [Evin University] forever.
