One week ago, hardliners in universities canceled ANJOMAN elections in universities. ANJOMAN is the only group in university which memebers are selective and choosen by students. Responding to this event, students gathered in universities and demand their right to choose their ANJOMAN.

In addition, ministry of higher education forced five professsors to stop teaching in universities and sign off(?) from the university ! This was only because of their ideas and beleifs. This also made students angry and they parade again IN the university and asked the return of their beloved teachers.


(reads: University is not a Military base)


The day after police and basij (hardliners semi-military group) have attacked the universities/dormitories but students defend. This continued next days and lots of students have been arrested and nonboy know were they are and what they do with them.





During these attacks, police has used batons, kicks and electrical batons. Lots of students have been injured and one of them is in very dangerous condition. He've got a batton in his head.





Most of these movements are happening in Tehran university and AmirKabir university (AKU). I'm sure that police is going to oppress this one too and will arrest all activists but I'm sure that one day Iran will face human rights too.

Maybe a week ago, one cartoon published in an newspaper which made all turk people in Iran angry. The concept of cartoon says that turk people are illitrated and fool.

I've seen the cartoon and it is not THAT bad. But the people of the turk parts of Iran (such as Azarbaijan, Ardabil, Naghadeh, ...) are in streets and demonstrating. This demonstrations are not due to that cartoon. The cartoon is just an ignistion which exploded a decades of oppression.

Turks in Iran do not have to study their language. They do not have access to turkish mass media and they face some other discriminations. These days we face anger from decades and polices brutality adds to this anger. "Anti revolutionary police" attacks to demontrations and kills people. Azarbaijans radio talk of 20 people who killed by police during this week and Turks all around Iran are going to demontrate in Tehran in sunday.

All people ask minister of "islamic guidance" (man in charge of that newspaper) to appologize turks but government have arrested poor cartoonist (Mana Neyestani) and shuted down the newspaper (called Iran) instead.

I've just got some SMSs and emails which claim that police have attacked to universities dormitories !
I have no detailed info but I'm surfing to find them soon. Or I might go to the university to see what is happening there. I'm afraid that Ahmadinejad is going to repeat July 1999 events
