Forbidden demo in Teheran
On the 9th of July 1999, mercinaries of the Iranian regime entered the
university of Tehran attacked people and smashed buildings. 4 years laters the
revolt in the university seems to be unstoppable. For this reason the government
has forbidden all demonstrations planned for the anniversary of the revolt in
Tehran. Police have received orders to stop the arrival of trains and buses
from every area of Iran into Tehran by any means.
People from many cities joined their struggles against the Regime with some
university students and gas and textiles workers. One protest was supported by
the US government interested in getting its hands on other strategic interests
in the Middle East.
The protests are also against the policies of privatisation of the schools and
universities that the reformist government of Khatami are promoting.
Neoliberalist reforms not so dissimilar to the politics of the US and global
financial institutions.
In France 20 Iranian activists from the National Council where detained on the
charge of “fomenting terrorism”, this link the struggle between students and
workers in Iran have been join by european exiles also suffering from
unjustified repression.
