NCRI – Tehran University students will face metal detector gates entering the school.
A new policy is in effect starting September 22, opening school year in Iran, allowing the government appointed university officials to install the new security gates not only at the various colleges but at the entrance and exit doors of the student dorms.
Every student has to insert his electronic ID card into the machine when going to and leaving the school grounds.
The school's authorities have adopted another suppressive measure by adding to the height of fences surrounding the university grounds.
The move has caused protests among students since its introduction last week.
The Iranian Universities were the seen of much unrest the last two semesters in a row with the Student Day, December 9, on its focal point.
On December 9, 2007, thousands of students gathered on university's main campus chanting anti-government slogans. Streets leading to the campus gates were filled with the State-Security Forces (SSF) –mullahs' suppressive police— agents prevent the students from other Tehran's universities to enter the school.
