Iranian Students Clash with Police
(New York Times) Robert F. Worth and Nazila Fathi - Thousands of people rallied against the Iranian government on Monday at universities across the country, defying a wide-ranging effort to suppress the protests. Protesters hurled rocks and set fires amid clouds of tear gas, while a vast deployment of police officers and plainclothes Basij militia members used chains, truncheons and stun guns to beat back chanting protesters. Some protesters burned posters of President Ahmadinejad and supreme leader Khamenei. There were reports of dozens of arrests and injuries.
