I found the babblefish translation a bit difficult. Try this "The opposing confrontations between the hundreds of police, militias and young democratic militants clashed Wednesday near the University of Tehran on the anniversary of the violent repression of the 1999 student movement. It was reported that the police struck on 2 fronts , firing teargas to disperse the student groups while fighting with the civil militia to prevent them from confronting the protesters. The islamist militia had proceeded ... to the arrest of 3 leaders of the student movement after leaving a press conference where they announced the cancellation of any demonstrations. “After the press conference, when some of our comrades wanted to leave, men in civilian clothes (guessing here) came out of 3 cars and attacked the students and took 3 members of the Bureau (no clue) to consolidate unity” someone responsible from the movement told Reuters.
