NCRI – Four students suspended by the school's administration for participating in last year's student protests sat outside main gate at Allameh Tabatabaei University in Tehran.
Families of the protesting students joined their children in their sit-in on campus on Tuesday.
Last night, school security guards attacked the students and their supporters beating up and arresting some of the participants. However, today the number of protesters grew dramatically.
Protesting students have vowed to start a hunger strike if the security guards attack them again.
In October 2007, around 1,000 Allameh students conducted an all out student strike which engulfed most of the school colleges.
Despite desperate attempts by the university security guards, agents of State Security Forces (SSF) – mullahs' suppressive police — and so-called plain cloths members of Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) to contain the demonstrations, the students managed to shutdown all classes and called on their professors to join them. They chanted slogans "Death to dictator," "University is not a military camp," "This is the final warning," "University students are ready for uprising," "Free minded professors, join us" and "Students, professors unite."
Back then six other students were suspended by the school's administration.
