Iran Counter

Authored by Michael Pate on July 9th, 2003 at 10:51 AM

Armed Iranian Islamic vigilantes have seized three student leaders as they left a news conference where they announced they had cancelled protests to mark the anniversary of 1999 university unrest, witnesses say. Authorities have banned off-campus rallies, closed campus dormitories, postponed summer exams and vowed to deal strictly with any unrest after arresting 4,000 people during 10 nights of sometimes violent protests across the country in June. - Jon Hemming
