Widespread suppressive measures against Tehran’s Polytechnic students following Ahmadinejad’s visi

Widespread suppressive measures against Tehran's Polytechnic students following Ahmadinejad's visitNCRI – Subsequent to ousting of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from Tehran’s Polytechnic by students while chanting “Death to dictator” as well as burning his pictures before his eyes, the mullahs’ security apparatus have created a reign of terror and fear against the students present at the scene by producing false evidence against them.

A website related to the suppressive organs of the regime named “Students’ Bassij Information Provider” posted names and particulars of six students calling them “hooligans.” The site published a text along with the students’ photographs which called them “A student grouplet with roots going all the way back to those hypocrites (a name used by the regime for the Mojahedin) who were executed in 1981.” 

Separately, the regime’s Majlis (parliament) deputy speaker, Mohammad-Reza Bahonar described the student activists at the Polytechnic “individuals who are after alcoholic drinks and suffer from sexual problems.” He added, “Who ever behaves improperly [referring to the students’ protest] must also pay the price.”

Such clear threats, by leaders of the regime against student activists at the Polytechnic for the way they treated Ahmadinejad, is an indication of how they will be treated in the days to come. 

The Iranian Resistance condemns the inhuman and anti-student measures by the mullahs’ regime and calls on all international human rights organizations as well as student unions and associations to support the uprising students in Iran.
