Iran: Widespread student protests at Shiraz University

NCRI – Last night, thousands of students at Shiraz University began their protest over mandatory dress codes set by the school administrators. They widely posted warnings on bulletin boards warning students to strictly obey the dress code.
“Code of Ethical Conduct clearly sets the pace for students to follow,” the state-run news agency ILNA reported.

Defiant students spent the night on campus and refused to go back to their dormitories demanding the school president’s resignation.

Some huge bulletin boards are erected at the school’s male dormitories with a statement ordering male students not to wear “shorts and tank tops in the dormitory’s halls or where they sleep.”

This morning some 2,500 male and female students gathered on the campus’s main entrance and did not attend regular classes in protest. The students shouting slogans such as: “Sadeqi, Sadeqi [referring to Mohammad Sadeqi the University President] must resign,” “Incompetent School President must resign now.”

The students also prepared an eleven point resolution which contained their demands and on the top of the list was their request for the university president to resign.
