Violent clashes rock Tehran University area

SMCCDI (Information Service)
Dec 7, 2003

Violent and sporadic clashes have rocked the Tehran University area and especially the Enghelab (24 Esfand) and Amir Abad as hundreds of students along with their supporters joined each other in the streets in order to shout slogans against the regime and its leaders.

Special units of the Pasdaran Corp and Bassidj along with plainclothes men attacked the demonstrators who retaliated to them resulting in tens of injuries and arrests.

Clubs, Chains and tear gas were used against those who defied the regime by getting out of the university and were joined by residents exasperated by the rule of theocracy.

Noise of sirenes and slogans against the regime ofered a prelude to a future revolution concert.

The situation is still very tense in the area despite the begining of dark.

Our wussy State Department to the contrary notwithstanding, our CIA should be working for the overthrow of this "theocracy".

Before it achieves critical mass.
