Iran: Students demonstrate on Polytechnic University campus PDF Print E-mail

Students demonstrate on Polytechnic University campusNCRI – On Sunday, students gathered outside administration office of Tehran's Polytechnic (Amirkabir) University protesting to reckless handling of a fellow classmate's falling from a three story building.

Said Arablou, an electrical engineering student fell from third floor of a school building and nearly lost both his legs.

Participants called for the resignation of Farahani, Dean of Student Affairs, for spending his entire budget on restrictive measures against the students such as close circuit cameras. The instruments are installed to keep an eye on the students' every move on campus. 

In the run-up to December 6, the Student Day, most students in major Iranian schools are preparing for traditional anti-government demonstrations. Polytechnic University has been the focal point of such student protests since their famous move of burning Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's pictures before his eyes when he was speaking at the school in December 2006.

Following the move, most of the school's students have been summoned to the so-called "disciplinary committee."  Many were suspended from following academic semesters despite Ahmadinejad's hollow show of tolerance for students' critical views of the mullahs' regime.
