The students of Isfahan's Industrial University have staged a series of protests and strikes since October 10 which continue to date, news coming from Isfahan say. Simultaneously, flyers and brochures in support of the Iranian Resistance's President-elect, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, have been distributed throughout the campus and in the dormitories. On October 24, the suppressive security forces arrested six students. Another two were arrested last week. The fate of the eight arrested students is unknown. The atmosphere at Isfahan's Industrial University is very tense.
The students demand lifting of various official restrictions and dissolution of the Islamic associations and other organs of suppression who enforce repression on campus and spy on Resistance sympathizers.
With the beginning of the new academic year, the mullahs' regime stationed the Bassij forces and special units of the Guards Corps in the downtown avenues and near some of the most famous high schools in Tehran to confront outbreak of students' protests.
Recently, 1,000 youngsters were arrested in Tehran and another 200 in Neyshabour (northeastern Iran). The regime's agents round up the youth on bogus charges of possessing videotapes and wearing western clothes.
In a meeting yesterday with the officials of the Intelligence Ministry, Rafsanjani confessed that the regime today faces "the most vehement hostility." Issuing new instructions for massive clampdown on popular demonstrations, he described the role of the spies and torturers of the Intelligence Ministry as "important and vital".
