NCRI – The clerical regime in Iran has closed down the dormitory of the University of Tehran since Thursday in fear of student protests on the anniversary of the July 8, 1999 uprising. The move occurs even as some of the colleges have not completed their final exams. The Science Ministry of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s cabinet has issued a directive to major universities in Tehran ordering them to close down campuses from July 5 until July 15. The decision was taken at the regime’s provincial office in Tehran at a meeting attended by the science and interior ministers of the Ahmadinejad government, as well as commanders of the State Security Forces (SSF), the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the paramilitary Bassij and security and intelligence organs.
Students at the Science and Technology University in Tehran have resisted against the closure of their Majidieh dormitory, which has remained opened.
