| Tehran, 5 June (AKI) - A students' association in Tehran issued a statement on Monday openly criticising the nuclear programme of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In the statement, which was distributed in the main universities of the capital, Anjoman Daneshjouian Azad, which means the association of free students, called on authorities to invest the money they are spending on the country's controversial nuclear programme in health and education programmes. "We don't believe in the choices of President Ahmadinejad who means to use its nuclear [technology] for military purposes, dragging the country into a new war," said the statement. Major powers are going to present to Iran a package of incentives and penalties aimed at convincing the government to abandon its nuclear programme which they fear is aimed at building nuclear weapons. Iran claims its programme is for civilian use and has so far refused to halt it. "The memory of eight years of war with Iraq [1980-1988] is still alive and our cemeteries are full of tombs of women and men, over a million, who lost their lives," said the students' statement. "A million of disabled people living in Iranian cities remind us every day of a past experience we don't want to go through anymore." |

| #1 Look for immediate retaliation against these "Students" their school, families and whoever employes them. Can't have any brains running around loose, gotta have them strictly cowed and afraid to speak. |
