Brave Amir Kabir Students


A student holds a sign reading, "Fascist President, Polytechnich is not your place", as President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, unseen, speaks at the Amir Kabir Technical University, in Tehran, Iran, Monday, Dec. 11, 2006 in a rare demonstration against the president. Ahmadinejad claimed to be delighted when reformist students disrupted his visit to the elite university, saying it showed the world that Iranians can protest "with an absolute, total freedom," the hard-line president wrote on his Web site. But at least eight of Amir Kabir University's leading reformists have been arrested since May 2007, according to their lawyers and activists inside and outside Iran. (AP Photo)
