TEHRAN, Sept 26 (AFP) - Iranian police broke up a demonstration calling for increased freedoms outside Tehran university on Sunday, the student agency ISNA and witnesses reported.

"People gathered around 4.30 pm (1200 GMT) in front of Tehran university's main entrance shouting slogans and handing out flowers and sweets," the news agency said.

"These people are obviously under the influence of the Iranian opposition based abroad," added the report, in an apparent reference to anti-regime satellite television channels broadcast into Iran.

Witnesses confirmed that hundreds of people had gathered in front of the university shouting pro-freedom slogans.

The report said the gathering was broken up by police, but there was no suggestion that any violent clashes took place.

An AFP reporter who toured the area around the university later in the evening reported heavy traffic but no sign of any fresh gatherings

END.

This is from a french reporting agency, apparently. And apparently the French, well, are the french

I hope this gets news anyway. Whether HUNDREDS or HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS....it matters!
