On Tuesday May 15, 2007, students at the university protested for the release of their imprisoned classmates.
The peaceful student protesters even held signs in English saying: “Hey President (Ahmadinejad) release our classmates now!” (Iran Focus)
But… The protest on Friday did not go so well!
Police came in and attacked the students, beat them and dragged several of them away!
