Protests of students at Tehran and Sharif universities continued for a third
day.
Despite the fact that last night, Tehran
University issued and distributed an order over the campus and dormitory that
banned any protests on December 9th, several students supporting the Green
movement held a protest in front of the faculty of engineering.
According to report by Norooz News Agency,
the faculty officials who wanted to show peaceful reaction to the extensive
protest by the students in front of the office of Kamaree, faculty's dean,
opened doors to Shahid Chamran auditorium so that students could state their
objections.

After the opening of the session and a 20 minute speech by Kamaree, protesting
students who were talking in the form of an open forum, repeatedly demanded
resignation of Farhad Rahbar, the university's dean which was objected by
Kamaree. This led to objections from the students which resulted in Kamaree
leaving the auditorium.
In this session, students chanted slogans against the university security
personnel. On December 7 and 8, the university security did not prevent the
Basij militia, who were not students, from entering the university and beating
the students inside the university, and they even assisted Basij militia to beat
protesting students.
