NCRI - The students in Mazandaran University have begun their third consecutive day of protest on the campus in the northern city of Babol.
Yesterday in the early evening hours four student activists were arrested by plain-clothes agents of Iran's State Security Forces (SSF), according to the Resistance sources in Iran.
Later in the evening, fifteen other students went on hunger strike over the detention of their classmates. They were arrested in the same manner and were taken to an unknown location, according to eyewitnesses.
On Sunday more students went on hunger strike and a sit-in took place in the university’s cafeteria over arrest of their classmates. It is widely believed by the students that their friends have been taken into custody with the collaboration of the university’s guards.
ISNA a student news agency run by the government reported that only twelve students were demonstrating on the campus of Mazandaran University. The picture was shot by one of the students at scene of the demonstration.
