Ahmadinejad faces angry students in Tehran

NCRI – Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the mullahs’ president, met with basiji (paramilitary force) students in Tehran Science and Technology University (TSTU) on Monday while other students were prevented to attend his visit.

All lectures were cancelled to prevent any student gathering against Ahmadinejad, while basiji students from other universities such as Allameh, AmirKabir, KhajeNasir, Imam Sadeq and Imam Hossein were transferred to the gathering by buses.

The State Security Forces arrested three students from Tehran’s Polytechnic University who were trying to enter TSTU to protest against Ahmadinejad.

In spite of all suppressive measures, some students managed to enter the gathering  and raise their voice against repression in universities. Students called for the release of their jailed classmates and the removal of all restrictions and suppressive measures imposed on them. They were chanting, “Jailed students must be released” and “Freedom, Freedom.”

Clashes erupted when mobs (basijis) attacked the students who were calling for the release of the three detainees from Amir Kabir University.
