Advarnews website reports that Milad Asadi was
arrested at his university, Khajeh Nasir in Tehran in November and was held in
solitary confinement for over 55 days and is now being subjected to a second
round of questioning.
The authorities have also told Mehdi Arabshahi, Morteza Samiari and Bahareh
Hedayat to announce the Consolidation Bureau Organization is dissolved.
Consolidation Bureau is the largest student organization in Iran and government
pressure to dissolve it is accompanied with attempts at restricting the
activities of Islamic Association of Tehran and Sharif University Professors.
Authorities claim all student and teacher organizations need to align themselves
with the regulations of Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution and
maintained that all organizations who fail to do so will be confronted.
In the mean time, Amir Kabir Polytechnic Student Association condemned the
eight-and-a-half-year prison term handed to their peer Majid Tavakoli, a student
activist who was arrested during National Student Day protests on December 17.
They accuse the system of "oppression and cruelty" against political prisoners.
The announcement ends warning the Islamic Republic establishment that they "too
will soon hear the voice of the people of Iran."
