Iranian students demonstrate against Ahmadinejad
Material compiled by our regional editor for Iraq and Afghanistan, Jay Bakht
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.

Photos taken by Iranian students
These photos were taken by students participating in the demonstration, and then uploaded onto AutNews, the website of the Islamic Student Association of Amirkabir University. The website has been criticised by the Iranian government for defaming the president. Despite the arrest of four of its editors in May, the site continues to run.
