Students in Iran Protest Sentences for 3 Activists

quote:
TEHRAN, Oct. 22 — Students at one of the most politically active universities in Tehran demonstrated Monday amid high security to protest jail terms for three student activists, an Iranian student news agency reported.

Students from different universities gathered at Amir Kabir University to protest sentences of up to three years issued last week for the activists, Ehsan Mansouri, Majid Tavakoli and Ahmad Ghassaban, the student news agency, ISNA, reported.

Interestingly there were no arrests and no one was tasered or pepper sprayed. I expect that the Iranians also had agent provacateurs in the crowd but this report doesn't say whether they were carrying rocks.
