The regime’s laughable description of Tehran University demonstrations

Iran Press News: Translation by Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi

Subsequent to the widespread and massive student demonstrations on Sunday, Nov. 27th, against the installation of Mullah Amid-Zanjani to the post of presidency of Tehran University which lead to his “get away,” the regime-run newspaper, KAYHAN, in its Tuesday issue referred to the student demonstrators as “doctrinaire rogues and rabble-rousers.”

This regime-run newspaper while admitting to the fact that Amid-Zanjani was booted from the University premises by the student protestors, laughably claimed: “Several European embassies conspired to defile the introduction ceremony of the new Tehran University president. Ms. F. H. who has for years colluded with her brother and other trouble-makers, who now also has suspicious relations with various embassies, was also present at the demonstration and she was there as liaison between ‘the western rings’ and the hoodlum demonstrators.” READ MORE

This newspaper, in it’s typically phantasmagorical and potboiler form rejected the actuality that the demonstrations would have convened spontaneously and went on to write: “Ms. F. H. who was supposed to be giving a lecture at Amir Kabir University got the hoodlums chanting several emotionally-charged slogans and when the fervor was at a boil, she transported students from Amir Kabir University which is only 3 kilometers away from Tehran University, in order to wreak havoc there too.”

This publication also insulted the students by claiming: “A mixed group of smutty girls and boys were also in attendance at the rally who insisted on singing their anthems, demanding that they be consulted in choosing a University president.”
