Iranian students protest

It would appear that students continue to protest against President Ahmadinejad. From AKI Kronos:

The students were protesting against "the shameful conference on the Holocaust which has brought to our country Nazis and racists from around the world and the fact that many activists with students' movements have not been allowed to attend university," said Mehdi Hatefi, an activist with Tahkim Vahdat on Monday.

It was the first time since his landslide victory in June 2005 that Ahmadinejad was challenged in public.

"The shouts of the students when they found themselves face to face with the head of the government wanted to underline the extension of repression here and the incapacity of this government for the benefit of the country, as well as rampant corruption and a disastrous economic situation that have characterised Iran for the 155 months of his rule," the Tahkim Vahdat statement read.

"In the universities they try to prevent any voice of dissent from being heard, many open-minded professors have been pensioned off or forced to resign, the politically active students expelled, and most of the student magazines forced to close," it added.

"Iranian students are flying the flag of resistance to this corrupt and repressive government, and do not intend to yield any ground to these forces are hoping that other sectors of society will join us in their battle because who sows wind, will reap a tempest" it concluded.

Alright so students in Iran have no problem protesting this evil dictator and calling him out on the conference he is holding, but our own media has a problem with this. Where is Katie on this one? More on this here, video of student heckling Ahmadinejad here.
