Student gathering in university mosque; suppressive forces stationed across Tehran

June 21. 2009


The Iranian regime’s suppressive State Security Force (SSF) has closed off the University of Tehran campus in order to preclude the staging of anti-regime protests, banning students from entering the university. However, a number of students have managed to gather in the university’s mosque. They plan to hold protests at Enghelab Square despite threats by the clerical regime and its suppressive forces. The SSF and paramilitary Bassij forces have been marshaled extensively across the capital, in particular in the city center, Enghelab Square and streets around the University of Tehran in order to prevent the formation of anti-regime demonstrations.
