Student activists at Tehran University confronted "President" Ahmadinejad and chanted "Death To The Dictator". The Universioties are no longer a safe haven for Ahmadinejad. About 100 students staged a rare protest yesterday against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, calling him a "dictator" as he gave a speech marking the beginning of the academic year at Tehran University. The protest prompted scuffles between the demonstrators and hardline university students loyal to Ahmadinejad, who ignored chants of "Death to dictator" and continued his speech on the merits of science and pitfalls of Western-style democracy, witnesses said. The hardline students chanted back "Thank you president" as police looked on from the outside the university's gates. No physical altercations took place, and the protesters dispersed after the car carrying Ahmadinejad left the campus. read full story / add a comment

Jesús Ochoa is Digna's brother. Since her death he has campaigned tirelessly on her behalf. As part of a tour of European countries and as a guest of Amnesty International he will be talking in Dublin on Thursday 18 October at 8.00 PM in The Teachers Club on Parnell Square. read full story / add a comment |
