The statements lambast the Iranian regime\u2019s repressive policies and cruelty against Iranian citizens and the student population, pointing to widespread arrests and attacks by the mullahs\u2019 security forces on the country\u2019s campuses.<\/p>\n
One statement by students at Tehran\u2019s Khajeh Nasir University recalls the regime\u2019s barbaric measures against extensive uprisings after June 2009, saying, \u201cOur memories have been tarnished by images of our friends being thrown off balconies, broken doors and windows, bullets, batons, tear gas, smoke, and friends whose blood has been shed, those who have been wounded, and others jailed or under torture.\u201d<\/p>\n
Students at the Free University in Tehran remembers in a separate statement the painful memories of the killing of their friends Ashkan Sohrabi and Amir Javadifar during the 2009 uprisings at the hands of the regime\u2019s suppressive forces.<\/p>\n
\u201c(This month) is reminiscent of years of student struggle in this land against tyranny and terror. This month has a day named after us, the students,\u201d the statement said, adding that the struggle will continue.<\/p>\n
In addition to anger towards the clerical regime, the declarations also portray a sense of resolve on behalf of the students, as they vow to stand firm in search of democracy as well as working to free their imprisoned colleagues.<\/p>\n
Reports indicate that over 90 prominent students have been imprisoned by the clerical regime since the June 2009 uprisings, according to Daneshjou News.<\/p>\n
Babol\u2019s Noshirvani University students called for the release of three of their friends, warning the regime to \u201cfree our classmates and stop being vengeful and arrogant.\u201d<\/p>\n
The students at the University of Tehran expressed hope that on Student Day \u201cthe (politically) conscious students will actively participate in protests to press on with their legitimate demands.\u201d<\/p>\n
At Amir Kabir University, students called on their colleagues to join in the protests on December 7 to \u201cshout out together that the university is alive.\u201d<\/p>\n
December 7, known as Student Day in Iran, is the anniversary of the murder of three University of Tehran students in 1953. The anniversary has turned into an annual practice of expressing opposition to the clerical regime by students at various universities in Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
