Around a hundred students gathered outside the University of Tehran on 9 October, shouting “enough of the dictator” and “we don’t want a new Pinochet”, while President Ahmadinejad gave a conference inside. The riot-police soon surrounded the group. The young activists are circulating photos and videos of the demonstration online.
