Feb 22, 2026, 09:17 GMT+0

Security controls were stepped up on Sunday morning at the Seyed Khandan campus of Khajeh Nasir University in Tehran as students prepared to gather for the 40th day memorial for people killed in protests, the Khajeh Nasir newsletter reported.

Access to the campus was limited to one entrance and a number of Basij members entered the campus after coordination with security forces, according to the student newsletter.

The Basij agents were seeking to identify students and build disciplinary or legal cases, and to steer the planned gathering toward violence, the newsletter added.
