Today, December 7, 2014 on the sixty first anniversary of “Student Day”, students of a number of universities in Tehran and other cities including “Science & Industry University”, “Sharif Industry University”, “Allameh University”, “Arts and Medical Science University” in Tehran, and other universities in Hamadan, Bandar-Abbas, Shahrood, Ahwaz and Babol held protest and anti-government demonstrations. Despite harsh security measures throughout capital and other cities, angry students held their annual gatherings and shouted anti-government slogans. They shouted for the freedom of all political prisoners and insisted that they are ready to die, but not to accept humiliation.
The students’ Day celebrations are held annually in Iran to commemorate the death of 3 students who were killed during a peaceful demonstration on this day in 1953.
