Students defy Iran’s security forces with university protests

Iranian regime forces clashed with students at one of Tehran’s main universities for a second day yesterday amid a rising death toll as protests rage across the country.

Reports and videos on social media showed Sharif University under siege by security forces, while dozens of students appeared to be trapped in the underground car park.

In one video, security forces on motorbikes appear to take away a female student and shoot directly at the person filming from a passing car. The window breaks before the video fades to black. In another, protesters are seen shouting “free the university students” in front of the university.
