In protest against suppression at university and desecration of a female student by the University vice president, more than 3000 students of Zanjan University (northwestern Iran) staged a protesting gathering.

The angry students attacked the office of Madadi, the university vice president, and unanimously asked for his resignation and other university administrators. A number of students staged a sit-in at night in the Gymnasium and announced they would continue their sit-in until their demands are met.

The exams to be held on Sunday or Monday were postponed due to students’ protest and sit-in.
