Polytechnic Student Burning Ahmadinejad Picture

Iranian students have staged a rare demonstration against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, setting off firecrackers and burning pictures of him as he delivered a speech at Tehran PolyTechnic university. - CNN

Dozens of protesters burned pictures of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad crying ‘dictator go away’, ‘death to dictatorship’ and threw firecrackers on Monday forcing him to interrupt several times a speech he was giving at the Amir Kabir university (Tehran Polytechnic) in Tehran and leave before scheduled. A thousand students had also protested on Sunday at the university asking the president not to come the following day. - AKI

Tehran, 11 Dec. (IPS) Hundreds of pro-reforms students burned pictures of hard line Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadi Nezhad, booed him with chants of “Ahmadi Nezhad, symbol of discrimination and dictatorship” and threw firecrackers in an effort to disrupt his speech at a university on Monday, according to eyewitnesses and reports from several Iranian independent news agencies. - IPS

Fascist President! Polytechnic is not your Place

Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, faced an unprecedented outburst of public opposition today from student demonstrators who burned his picture and chanted “death to the dictator”. - Guardian Unlimited

AhmadiNejad Upside Down

PS. I am a Tehran PolyTechnic student, and I was there from the begining to the end. All the news sources above quoted the truth. Governmental news agencies here extremely trying to censor the truth about the meeting today.

  2. Long time no see…
    Yes, what a shame and personally, liked the CNN’s report.
    Thanks for the news anyway; in fact I knew nothing and it made me aware.

    By the way, what’s going on with wordpress.org? I’m sure you’ve noticed what I did; it seems WordPress.org went to the IR-ICP(s) filtering list. I just wonder what’s going on?!

  3. 28 years of coma. How much longer? 28 years of reformist vs conservative game? How much longer will people be fooled? 28 years of death and destruction of our people and nation; for how much longer? 28 years of our nation being known as a terrorist, backward, hostile nation thanks to the treason that took place in 1979.

  9. ok mani
    I read your statements and now I know what kind of people hate ahmadinejad and swear at iranian.stupid and rude guys like you

    Comment by zari — Tuesday October 2, 2007 #

  10. Mani, I won’t put too much weight on any student opposition rallies if I were you. For any repressive countries, such protests or rallies are possible only if someone let it happened.

    I’ve read about the Indonesian student protests in 1966 and I also participated in the massive student protests of 1998. I hate to admit it, but in both occasions I realized that we students were just being by the military. In the end, when the old regime finally collapsed, we’re quickly ditched by the new one. The one we supported.

    Students were part of your 1979 revolution and you can see what happened with your revolution. In my opinion, the next student revolution will bring just about the same result.

  11. I know that many people are against him ( myster Ahmadi Nejad )
    And now these pics are not very imprtant because of his relations in whole over the world. So I think u r one the people that just wants that USA or other big Countries should help us to discover Atomic energy and now u just say these and u can’t say morre because no one allow u to speak the reason is that u r not a celever person .
    Hope that u change ur mind

  12. hello, we can wake somebody who asleep, but never who seems to be sleep!
    i think we most see which persons are talking about him and among them which hate him, as you see at election ahmadinejad is getting more and more papular. sombodies are talking from their emotions not by brain, who they like is clear, some body who do their evil emotions.
    if enemies hate you or say somethink againce you , be glad that you are going right.
    i pray ahmadinejad be elected again!!!

  13. Hi mani
    I just surfed your blog bu chance, only one tiny suggestion about this sentence:

    you could change HARDLY to HARD (or Extremely for instance) to avoid misunderstanding, HARDLY might be synonym to Rarely, so that your sentence may express that “Iran-run media don’t censor news regarding to the issue … which seems not to be what you were going to mean.

  14. corrections:
    *By chance not bu chance :D
    *i was talking about this sentence:
    “Governmental news agencies here hardly trying to censor the truth about the meeting today.”

  17. Dear readers
    Democracy is the TOOL of WEST and US .to enforce their will and their likeliness on Gulf ,Eastern and African countries and then they prepare their agents government in the regions and try to achieve their goals through their agents in these 3rd world dates
    What kind of the Government of peoples and by the peoples is this! Where t 5 Million protest in DC Washington that do not attack on Iraq but despite of fact he (Bush) attacks in Iraq and kill million of civilians included children and women’s
    A big gap is being created between the civilizations for a big clash in the care of this Democracy .why did not they force democracy in Russia China, and other more then 100 countries .My friends its not make any kind of sense when the ANTI West Or US peoples comes in to the Government in any part of the world likely in Palestine (Hamas) then you start calling its not democracy same situation in Lebanon and Iran or Pakistan,
    Its not call DEMOCRACY its call HYPOCRACY….
    Ahmadi Nijad is The leader ,and the Properties of leaders is MAN who takes stands on any national Interest is call .Leader .rest of others in 3rd world are politicians not Leader ! so keep supporting Him He is Hero in world .not even in east but also in south America
    LOVE FOR AHMEDI NIJAD and IRAN
