Iran: Anti-government students' protest at Tehran UniversityStudents demanded agents of Ministry of Intelligence and Security, Revolutionary Guards elements and mullah Amid Zanjani expelled from the university

NCRI – On Monday afternoon, Hundreds of Tehran University students demonstrated against the handpicked University Chancellor. The students gathered outside the Technical school and chanted anti-government slogans. Students carried signs which read,”Free imprisoned students," this is university not theological school” and "abandon the nuclear program, think of us.”

Other signs read, "The Chancellor must resign”, "death to dictatorship, death to tyranny”, "We don’t want nuclear bomb, we don’t want a handpicked Chancellor, we don’t want a fascist students’ association”, "the disciplinary committee must be dissolved” and "Zanjani shame on you, leave the University.”

When the protesting students passed the technical and law schools on their way out of the University to continue the demonstration on the streets, they were stopped by the security guards at the gate. The guards attacked the crowd and injured some of the students.
