Islamic regime’s agents brutally attack students

Iran Press News: Amir Kabir University newsletter reported that at 1 p.m. on Saturday, November 25th the regime’s agents and disciplinary guards attacked university students who had been prohibited from entering the Amir Kabir Polytechnic campus; the students are members of the university students assembly and directors of the students publications who were barred by the university president from stepping onto the grounds. The explosive atmosphere of the campus lead the disciplinary guards and agents to brutally attack and physically assault the students.

The attack began when the students who took to peacefully sitting on the inside of the university’s front gates.

A phone call from the office of Ali-Reza Rahaii, the university president, to the Etemadzadeh, the commander of the disciplinary guards on campus lead to him ordering the security patrol to attack the peaceful protestors and to bounce them from the university.

This measure met with the reaction of the students who complained about the unjustified order for the presence of the guards; eventually however the number of students who joined the protestors increased so much that the disciplinary guards could no longer maintain the level of oppression. One of the disciplinary guards said: “The order to attack and beat the students was handed down via a phone call to the disciplinary command; they forced us to take action.”

During the clash one of the students was severely injured and was transferred to a nearby hospital.

During the last 3 weeks Ali-Reza Rahaii, the regime-installed president of Amir Kabir University banned the student activists and assembly members from stepping onto the campus.

It is worth mentioning that the regime has recently begun actively expelling students with records of political and human rights activism from continuing their education; the ministry of education and training as well as the ministry of sciences have also, at the behest of the regime, begun refusing to allow those who are near completion of their studies from receiving their degrees and officially graduating.
