Leaflets and posters calling on youths to attend the protest have been distributed on campus and circulated among students across Tehran.
Less than two weeks ago, students from Amir Kabir University took part in a sit-in, demanding that authorities release fellow pupils who had been arrested for taking part in anti-government demonstrations.
Earlier this month, students staged a large protest on campus, once again demanding that authorities free jailed students. They also called for the expulsion of the universitys chancellor and an end to the government-sponsored crackdown on student rights activists.
Polytechnic University – also known as Amir Kabir University – has been a hotbed of anti-government demonstrations in recent months.
