Students at Amri Kabir University in Teheran staged a sit-in protest on Tuesday to protest against the human rights violations and the imprisonment of political activists. Some 200 students protested peacefully under tight governmental control and security. The Amir Kabir University has evolved to one of the most active centres of political dissent in Iran.
According to a pro-reform group the students "protested against violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms, the illegal detention of political and student activists, increased pressure on the press (and) limited freedom of expression."
Ebrahim Yazdi who leads the banned Iran Freedom Movement, a former member of the parliament and several family members of political prisoners also took part in the protests. The protesters also demanded the release of journalist Akbar Ganji.
