While all non governmental parties and Organizations are banned and their leaders and members have been executed for 24 years of brutal Islamic rule in Iran, the students movement and its demands for democracy and social justice, is the only hope which has remained for the oppressed Iranian people in their common struggle for freedom.
In 1980 the Islamic Republic of Iran crushed the students movement, closed all universities in Iran for two years, arrested tens of thousands of students and even their supporters and teachers. Many of them were tortured for years in Islamic prisons.
Again, in November 2002, a new generation of students came to action for the same demands. This time, again, the Islamic Republic crushed them fiercely, killed many of them and arrested thousands.
Now, since 10 June 2003, the students movement which is strongly supported by oppressed people, has occupied the streets and again has been facing unbelievable brutality. This time the clergy leader of the Islamic Republic (Khameneai) declared clearly that the regime is determined to crush this movement to death !
To students all over the world and all freedom lovers!
The independent students movement in Iran, has this time
decided to continue the struggle to achieve its objectives: democracy, freedom of speech and social justice. And they are going to the streets every night, hoping that everyone will hear their voice and support them.
In this very critical situation, a call goes out to all the students of the world to take action and show their immediate and very urgent solidarity in any way which they decide.
Latest news: on the third day of protest, the situation has developed to a serious barricade, over a hundred students have been arrested and the casualties are, up to now, mentioned 75 of protesters. Meanwhile the students have taken three special agents of the information ministry as peaceful hostages when they have invaded the student dormitories. Visible solidarity is more urgent than ever to protect students from brutal retaliation.
