Police have closed the main office of Iran's largest student organization in an ongoing crackdown by religious hard-liners on reformist movements. The Office for Fostering Unity headquarters was raided and closed by police following angry exchanges between student leaders and a splinter group within the organization. Police and vigilantes loyal to the hardline faction within Iran's ruling establishment raided the office, bashed students and arrested more than 36 mainstream members of the student body.
