 NCRI - Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the Iranian Resistance's President-elect, lauded the students who staged an anti-government demonstration in Tehran University and rose up against the religious dictatorship ruling Iran.
Mrs. Rajavi added: In universities in Tehran, Mazandaran, Khorasan, Tabriz and Ahvaz, as well as in Ashraf (home to the members of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran), there is only one cry: the cry for freedom in Iran and rejection of religious dictatorship.
She added: The student demonstration with the chants of 'Death to dictator,' 'we will continue our struggle,' 'Ahmadinejad, the source of discrimination and corruption,' 'death to this deceptive government,' showed that the student movement supports the Iranian people's urgent demand for the establishment of freedom and democracy and an end to the theocracy ruling Iran. It also demonstrated that the mullahs have utterly failed to derail the student movement under the pretext of defending peace. University students showed that defending peace could only be brought about with rejection of the religious dictatorship, which has been the ultimate source of suppression, terrorism, belligerence, the drive to acquire weapons of mass destruction including nuclear weapons.
Despite special suppressive measures by the State Security Force and agents of Ministry of Intelligence, more than 3,000 Tehran university students staged an anti-government demonstration this afternoon.
While the suppressive forces prevented the students from entering the University, the protestors broke the gate in the 16th of Azar Street and entered the main campus.
Simultaneous with Tehran, the situation in universities in other cities is tense. Students of Ferdowsi University in Mashad and Shiraz University have also staged anti-government demonstrations.
