The students’ rally began at noon at the university’s mosque towards the campus’s main entrance. The participants lit candles in memory of all those who lost their life during the recent nationwide uprising of the Iranian people against the regime.
Kianoosh Asa, a chemical engineering student at the university, was kidnapped on June 15, 2009 from the university’s Majidieh dormitory.
His family found his body in a morgue, 10 days after his abduction, bearing signs of torture. The Iranian regime is refusing to hand over his body, claiming the body has been marked as unidentified since the person had no identity papers with him when he was found.
