Students Protesting




More than 2000 students of Tehran University gathered on Wednesday to commemorate the students day and protest against the regime. Students Day has always been a strong excuse for students to get together and show their anger. Police and Islamic vigilantes kept a very close eye on the students Gooya News reports, and for hours they prevented other students to join the students gathering inside the Tehran Uni. campus.

The banners read: "Death to Dictatorship", "Students For Workers", "We have nothing to lose to defend freedom", "Students & Workers, Unity Unity", "Free political prisoners now", "Boycotte the sham elections".

It is wonderful to see this, everytime I start to get discouraged the students rise up, as to remind us that they will not be silenced.

I have great love and admiration for all of them and I strongly believe that they will bring about change, not by force, but by being relentless and not taking no for an answer.
