Tehran, Iran, Dec. 07 – The following are photos of a demonstration on Wednesday by students outside the main gates of the University of Tehran to mark Iran’s national Student’s Day amid tight police security and a ban on protests.

A demonstration began at 12.30 by several hundred students with hundreds more pouring into the crowd.

Power lines are cut in local internet cafes in what appears to be a government-orchestrated action to prevent news of the protests from spreading. Most payphones in the area are also out of action.

Apart from the large uniformed-police presence, there are many plainclothes agents at the site of the university and in internet cafes.

The situation is reported to be tense and there is a possibility that clashes could erupt between chanting students and agents of the State Security Forces.
