Decemeber 7th matters to the

Rallies held on Student Day in Iran



Mon, 07 Dec 2009
Students in Iran gathered to commemorate the national Student Day as reports suggest a number of anti-government protesters have attempted to hijack the occasion.

December 7 marks the day three Tehran University students were killed by the regime of Iran’s last monarch in 1953, as they were protesting the visit of then US vice president Richard Nixon to Iran.

Nixon’s visit came a few months after a US backed coup overthrew the country’s democratically elected prime minister, Mohammad Mosaddeq.

The occasion, meanwhile, provided opposition protesters with an opportunity to stage anti-government demonstrations. However, their efforts were foiled thanks to the presence of anti-riot forces in several parts of the capital.

According to reports, sporadic clashes have taken place between the protesters and security forces near the main campus of Tehran University. The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported that police arrested a number of the rioters who set on fire trash bins.

The news agency added that a group of rioters wearing green clothes destroyed the Amir Kabir University’s entrance gate on Vali Asr street and attacked the students inside the campus.

The rioters, IRNA said, also tore down the security station inside the university. They also threw rocks at a bank on campus.

The  report added that students in return chanted slogans, calling the rioters "traitors."

Imagine what these brave protesters could accomplish with just the slightest encouragement from the West.

But we are too busy trying to destroy our economy and give away what is left of our freedoms.
