Persian 2 English, Today at 11:30am, Shiraz University students attended a rally at Pardis square, but university basij and security forces were mobilized and the scene turned violent. According to HRANA, there were over hundreds of students all calling for a reponse from the authorities of Shiraz University for Shiraz University student Hamed Nourmohammadi who lost his life.

These students protested, despite the heavy presence of security forces, police, and basij at Shiraz University who had attempted to prevent their demonstrations. It is mentioned that security forces and basij attacked Shiraz University students during their protest and it turned violent [at the hands of security forces]. This is while Shiraz University students have announced that they will protest again tomorrow.
