NCRI – According to obtained reports from inside Iran, the Iranian regime’s anti-riot forces attacked the campus of the University of Tehran tonight and arrested a number of students. They took the detainees to an undisclosed location.
The agents, enraged at this morning’s student protests and anti-regime chants, were stationed in front of a male dorm building at the campus starting at 17:40 local time in order to prepare to arrest some of the student activists identified in the course of the protest earlier in the day. After it got dark, the number of the agents increased as they set up formation.
Witnessing the presence of the agents, students began to rush out of their dorms and chant slogans. Some of the slogans included, “With the help of God, victory is imminent. Death to this deceitful government,” “Seyyed Ali [Khamenei] Pinochet, Iran will not become another Chile.” The suppressive forces attacked the students and arrested a number of them.
The Iranian Resistance warns about the torture of the students and calls on international organizations, particularly the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, to enact immediate and binding measures to free political prisoners in Iran.
