June 2010 Uprising – 8
At least 12 detained and taken to undisclosed locations
NCRI – On Saturday afternoon, the courageous students of Elm va Sanaat (Science and Technology) University staged a protest gathering despite a heavy presence of suppressive forces. A large number of people also gathered in front of the university in support of the students. Both the students and the people resisted against attacks by the agents who sought to disperse the protestors, and clashes ensued.
At 19:15 local time, a large number of people also gathered in front of the University of Tehran in solidarity with the students, chanting “Khamenei shame on you, let go of our country,” referring to the mullahs’ Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. The suppressive forces attacked people, wounding and arresting some of them, in order to force the population to disperse. At least 12 people were arrested in these skirmishes and were taken to undisclosed locations.
Regime agents on motorbikes wielded batons as they patrolled surrounding university streets, seriously wounding youths as a result. One of the injured was a young girl.
Inside the University of Tehran, members of the paramilitary Bassij Force and intelligence agents from Herasat Office (Protection Office, a branch of the regime’s Ministry of Intelligence on campus) attacked students with batons and sticks, wounding many of them in the process. The university’s front gate has been locked with a chain.
