It seems that at least the students in Iran are fed up with Ahmadinejad and authoritarianism. Students at Tehran University broke out in protest, crashing down the main gate chanting slogans for freedom including freedom for women.
"Students defied a clampdown on protests in Iran yesterday by tearing down the gates of Tehran university. "
"They chanted slogans against President Ahmadinejad and carried placards saying "Live free or die", "No war, no fascism" and "Women must decide their fate, not the state."
"They wrecked the iron-barred gates and threw stones at police, according to Iranian state radio, which said the protest ended peacefully.
"Tehran University is the largest and one of the oldest universities in Iran." (Daily Mail).
For pictures of the students and their banners go to Gateway Pundit. The following are some of their chants and statements on placards:
"People, think! We were once some of the luckiest people in the world; what happened to us? Search for your dreams under the rubble and do not sit for death to come."
"Ahmadi-Pinochet, Iran will not become Chile!"
"Ahmadi-Pinochet, Iran will not become Chile!"
"The University is the last bastion of freedom!"
All I can say is - IT´S ABOUT TIME THAT THESE PEOPLE DEMANDED FREEDOM!
We´ll see how long this desire for freedom lasts and what they are willing to do to get it. (See Michael Ledeen´s The Corner for video of the protests).
“Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 21st century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a roll-back of the industrial age”. Professor Richard Lindzen
