According to reports from northeastern city of Birjand, Ahmadinejad canceled his scheduled speech in the University of that City in fear of facing students’ anger and protests.

Reports say the Science and Education Minister in Ahmadinejad cabinet who attended the Birjand University on Wednesday Nov. 7 said: Ahmadinejad personally canceled his scheduled speech in the university. He said instead of making speech in the Birjand University, Ahmadinejad is going to open officially the Shargh technical college (the College of Shargh was built in 1991 and its official opening ceremony was held in 1997).

After being informed of Ahmadinejad ’s presence, the students of the College of Shargh staged a gathering in front of the college. This made the regime to announce that Ahmadinejad’s visit to this college was also canceled and Minister of Science would attend the ceremony instead. The students staged a gathering anyhow in front of the college canteen to protest Ahmadinejad presence.
