Reports from Iran indicate that around 8:00 pm today, hundreds of
Tehran University students used the disqualification of some 1,000
candidates in the Presidential election farce as pretext to hold a
protest gathering at the University and surrounding areas
The students set fire to many tires and displayed outrage toward the
clerical regime and its leaders by chanting “death to despotism, death
to the dictator”. The gathering continued until 11:00 pm local time.
Fearing the spread of the protest, the clerical regime dispatched
hundreds of State Security Forces (SSF) to the University and nearby
areas. Brig. Gen. Morteza Tala’i, Tehran’s SSF commander, went to the
scene to direct the crackdown on protest.
Also today, students at Sharif University of Technology in the capital
held a protest gathering at the University’s main building (Avicenna
Bldg.) and cancelled classes. They plan to continue their gathering
tomorrow morning at 9:00 am.
