A report is surfacing that the Iranian government has condemned Oxford university over the creation of a scholarship to honor Neda Agha-Soltan - whose death, during protests against the Iranian government, was captured video and gained world wide attention.
CNN is reporting that it has seen a letter from Iranian Embassy in London sent to Queen's College, Oxford
It seems that the University of Oxford has stepped up involvement in a politically motivated campaign which is not only in sharp contrast with its academic objectives, but also is linked with a chain of events in post-Iranian presidential elections blamed for [sic] British interference both at home and abroad," the letter said.
Oxford Universty says the naming the scholarship after Neda Agha-Soltan was the decsion of a private donor who funded the scholarship
