Spying in NZ for the Iranian regime?

95BFM reports:

A University of Auckland PhD student, Sophia* has come forward with allegations about a University employee reportedly providing the Iranian regime with intelligence about Iranians in New Zealand who are protesting.

The employee, who is also a PhD student, has a record of openly supporting the actions of the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) and reporting protestors- and they’re not alone. 

The employee is among other students who Sophia says have been reporting individuals speaking openly in opposition to the regime, and attending protests. Sophia told Jessica Hopkins on The Wire that the University promised complainants they would investigate the matter, but no information has been released about the situation. 

She believes “the University should share the results of this investigation, (and) stop providing shelter for these individuals,” saying the reporting of protestors was “abusing democratic values in New Zealand”.

If this is correct, this is outrageous. You can’t have a university staffer reporting students to the Iranian Government for peaceful protests in NZ. This could lead to harm against their families back home.

Auckland University needs to clarify what exactly has happened, and what they have done in response.
