Tehran’s Polytechnic University students in their demonstration called Ahmadinejad a “Petty Dictator” and by chanting “Death to Dictator” expressed the will of the Iranian people for overthrowing fascist regime of mullahs in Iran.

In Kashan, a central city of Iran, the students of Amir Kabir University showed their solidarity with Tehran’s Polytechnic University by “Down with the dictator” and “Political students must be freed”.

Agence France Presse reported that Iranian students on Monday staged a protest against the jailing of three colleagues, shouting slogans against officials and proclaiming the prisoners’ innocence, Iranian news agencies reported.

AFP added “Down with the dictator” and “political students must be freed” were among the slogans chanted in the protest. The university’s director had banned the association’s members and some other political activists from entering the campus and also asked for a police presence in order to stop this event.

Three students from Tehran’s Amir Kabir University — Ehsan Mansouri, Majid Tavakoli and Ahmad Ghassaban — were last week given jail sentences of up to three years on charges of anti-Islamic images in four student newspapers.
