Similar rallies were held at Tehran’s Al-Zahra University and other campuses around the capital as well as the Yazd University, the Islamic Azad University of Karaj in Gohardasht, and the Isfahan University of Technology, among others. High school students also took part in today’s demonstrations, including in the cities of Sanandaj, Marivan, Saqqez, and Tehran.
Students in several universities across the country held rallies and boycotted classes, protesting the regime’s escalating suppressive measures against their classmates, including suspensions of many students in different universities. The ongoing defiance in universities signals the backfiring of heavy-handed measures that the regime had hoped might quell the unrest.
Families of recently apprehended protesters in Tehran rallied outside Evin Prison on Monday and Tuesday, demanding to learn about the fate of their loved ones. But despite hours-long waiting, the authorities declined any response. The lives of those apprehended are in grave danger as many protesters in the past eight weeks have lost their lives while in custody and under torture.

Live Report: Iran’s College Students Continue Relentless Uprising, Night Rallies Escalate
The uprising that is spreading across Iran is marking its 46th day on Monday, following a day of relentless protests throughout the country. Students in dozens of universities continued their anti-regime protests in the face of escalating crackdown measures by the regime’s oppressive security forces. Despite threats made by senior regime officials demanding an end to the uprising, coupled with extensive crackdown measures and arrests of many college students across the country, these protests are only expanding, as witnessed on Sunday.
As Iran Uprising Continues on 46th Day, Repressive Forces Step up Their Brutality

Systematic Violence and Arbitrary Killing of Women and Girls Will Not Stop Iran Protests
Systematic violence against schoolgirls has become prevalent in Iran. Now that the girls are resisting being forced into taking part in pro-regime ceremonies, they are beaten in school premises, arrested, and tortured to death in detention.
Although it seems to be sheer madness, this is the true nature of the Iranian regime. In the past few days, parents have rushed to different high schools to save their young daughters’ lives.
Universities, the Bastion of Iran’s Protests – Day 46
In view of the ongoing protests against the authoritarian regime in Iran, the security forces are to be paid more. The parliament of the regime approved a 20 percent increase in salaries in Tehran on Sunday, the state news agency IRNA reported.
This is justified by the fact that the regime is facing a shortage of security forces and is trying to recruit more people to quell the protests. There has been a lot of criticism of the violent action taken by the security forces against demonstrators for weeks. Many people have been killed, dozens are wounded, and many people have been kidnapped by the regime’s security forces.
