Tehran University students call on public to march toward campus
Students at the University of Tehran called on the public on Tuesday to move toward the campus, saying heavy security around the university was preventing them from joining street protests, according to messages circulated by student groups.
In statements shared online, students said security forces had encircled areas around the university, limiting movement in and out of the campus.
They urged citizens to approach Tehran University so that students could link up with protesters outside the campus perimeter.
The appeal came on the third day of protests and strikes over economic hardship, as universities across Tehran reported demonstrations alongside tightened security and access controls.
Tehran University has been a recurring focal point during protest waves, with students often attempting to connect campus gatherings to wider street demonstrations.
