Despite the most unprecedented suppressive and security measures by the Iranian regime, more than 3,000 students whose numbers were escalating continuously, started their demonstration at Tehran University to mark Iran’s ’Student Day’, chanting anti-government slogans such as ” Death to Dictator”.

The demonstrating students in front of Tehran University, who had come from different cities and universities, chanted: ” Ahmadinejad, Cause of Prejudice and Corruption”, ” “Students are willing to die but not accept humiliation,” ” detained student must be released” , and ” We are the women and men of the war, Let’s fight!”

In solidarity with Tehran University students, other students from Ahwaz, Hamedan Mazandaran, Isfahan, Arak, Shahr Kord, Khorram-Abad, Ilam, Sari, Kurdistan and Kermanshah had come to Tehran and joined the demonstrators.

The demonstrating students passed the security and disciplinary forces who had surrounded the University, broke the main entrance gate and entered the University.

The students, who were carrying the pictures of their detained classmates, neglected the threats and assaults of the regime’s mercenaries and continued their demonstration.

They were also carrying a placard saying “Women’s Rights is equal to Human Rights.”

The night before the demonstration, the state media broadcasted news on the extensive and suppressive arrests of the students to prevent them from marking Students Day.
