**Students Protesting in Tehran**


Posted on 02/21/2005
by Khashayar


I am receiving confirmed reports of protests in Alameh university campus in TEHRAN now.

BBC Persian language service confirms the reports and posted a news story in Persian language on this.

A group of students are on strike in Tehran to ask for freedom of expression and release of all political prisoners.

They are protesting against the closure of newspapers, imprisonment of outspoken professors!

They demand support from the free world and the US! They support hunger strike of political prisoners.

There are multiple reports that Security forces have been trying to crush the protest and arrested a few of the leaders of the current protest in the name of action against national security.

The students claimed they want to be peaceful but they are threatened to be sent to prison.

There have been slogans against the regime leaders and judiciary system.


Reports confirmed by http://www.isna.ir , http://www.bbcpersian.com and http://news.gooya.com

Shia Mourning Ritual Turns Into Deadly Protest Demos

SMCCDI (Information Service)

Feb 21, 2005


The Shia mourning ritual of Moharam's "Sham e Ghariban", turned into deadly protest demos. At least 2 persons have been killed in the souhern City of Kerman while tens of other have been injured in the Capital and cities, such as, Esfahan and Mashad.

Many mourners sized the occasion for showing their rejection of the regime by playing the religious card and qualifying the current rulers of Iran as "those continuing the crimes of Yazid" (an Arab ruler responsible for the death of Hussein the 3rd Imam of Shias in Kerbala over 13 centuries ago).

Slogans against the regime leaders were shouted by the demonstrators who most of them are from deep religious families.

Some public materials and pictures of the regime's leaders were set on fire and several militiamen were injured during the clashes.
