On Monday, October 31, the 46th day of the nationwide uprising, students from dozens of universities across the nation held sit-ins and protests despite brutal repression by the IRGC forces in recent days.
Students at Al-Zahra University, Amir Kabir University, Tehran Technical University South and West Branch, Sharif University of Technology, Melli University, Khajeh Nasir University, Allameh University, Tehran University Sohank Branch, and other universities protested in Tehran, chanting, “We swear to the blood of our comrades that we will continue to the end,” “We will fight, we will die, but we will take back Iran.”
Melli University students from various faculties participated in the sit-in, as did some professors. Al-Zahra University students staged a sit-in to protest the arrest of one of their classmates.
“Today, braver than ever, with knowledge and truth, we have come to fight your ignorance and lies, to say that we will not sell the blood of our brothers and sisters to your constant threats and coercion,” Soureh University students stated in a statement against the widespread crackdown on students. “We condemn all forms of repression and violence against students, and we raise our voice for liberty louder than ever.”
