Students received life threats for participating in Student DayNCRI – The mullahs' security forces threatened to kill student activists for participating in Student Day gathering on December 10 in Shiraz University in southern Iran.

They have sent out a statement which reads in part, "You must die for your sins."

Students are the subject of mullahs' wrath for their widespread protests on Student Day which received public attention by the local residents. 

Following Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to Polytechnic University in December of 2006 when students burned his pictures before his eyes, the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) hunted down most student activists protesting to the mullahs' suppressive measures. 

Some spent months in notorious Evin prison for their actions. Many were permanently suspended from school.

This year however, all schools are targeted since the protest gatherings were not limited to just Tehran schools.
