Hundreds of bassiji students have demonstrated in Tehran in favour of its nuclear technology programmes. The bassijis, who were brought in by bus, formed a human chain around the Atomic Energy Organisation. The protest follows a vote on Sunday in the parliament asking the government to pursue peaceful nuclear technology, including mastering the fuel cycle. Bassijis chanted, "Death to America" and "Death to England" as they gathered to listen to speeches. Are these humanoids in for a 2005 surprise.
