Iran's police have established a security ring composed of law enforcement forces around Tehran University to protect pro-democracy students from attacks by plainclothes agents and extremists, recently referred to by the government as "thugs." Early on Saturday, Tehran police arrested a significant number of extremist agents and plainclothes individuals. It is reported that these agents injured 50 students in a predawn attack on the university dormitories while they were asleep. The violence occurred when the police, with the help of regime-supporting extremist groups and plainclothes agents, were able to suppress a week-long student protest against the Iranian religious regime. The White House also condemned the suppression of student protests and the attacks by extremist groups on students. The U.S. White House stated that Iran must respect the human rights of the protesters and release those who have been imprisoned. According to the latest news from Iran, new unrest has been reported in the city of Shiraz. According to the Student News Agency, demonstrators were arrested by law enforcement officers.
