TEHRAN - The first session of the trial of 23 suspects charged in connection with the 2009 Tehran University dormitory incident was held in a military court in Tehran on Tuesday.
At the court session, indictments against 23 of the 27 suspects charged in connection with the 2009 Tehran University dormitory incident were read out, the ISNA news agency reported.
The plaintiffs and their lawyers as well as legal representatives from Tehran University and the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology then submitted their complaints to the court.
The presiding judge said the court will reveal the names of the suspects once their legal proceedings are completed.
Investigations of 17 more suspects charged in connection with the case have also been conducted, and their cases will soon be submitted to the court.
On June 15, 2009, unidentified people in plainclothes entered the Tehran University dormitory, ransacked buildings, and beat and detained dozens of students.
The police said they only intervened to protect the students living at the dormitory and to restore calm.
