| Coppers storm crowd outside Tehran university |
| 2002-12-08 |
| Iranian police stormed a crowd outside the gates of Tehran University Saturday afternoon and arrested around a dozen people, an AFP correspondent said, after students demonstrating inside called for the resignation of the country's chief of judiciary. Several hundred people had begun to gather in Enqelab (Revolution) Avenue outside the campus where police had lined up a barrier of buses to block the view of the student demonstration inside. "If they can't see it, it didn't happen, right?" Among the estimated 3,000 students, who had been banned from demonstrating outside the precincts of the university, some demonstrators hurled rocks at the buses, breaking some of their windows. They also called out to those outside to join them, prompting "Yar! We'll see what yer opinion is when ye'r missin' a few teeth, sonny!" |
