Iran- Rouhani's speech interrupted by Students chanting for the release of Political Prisoners.(NCRI).

During Hassan Rouhani - regimes president’s speech at Meli University in Tehran, students interrupted the speech by chanting, “political prisoners must be released”. This was despite restrictions and strong security control over the students.

The state run main TV channel which was broadcasting the speech live from Meli University, muted the sound gradually but eventually had to stop the live session in order to prevent broadcasting the student's protests.

Students also chanted, “students prefer to die than to accept disgrace”. 

Reports from Sharif Industrial University indicated students posting a huge sign on top of the university entrance, writing, “No entry!” and protested against the presence of Hossein Shariatmadari – Khamenei’s mouthpiece director. Shariatmadari, was due to speak on the occasion of the Students Day. Prior to this, the students had announced, “we don’t allow someone to lie to us with impudence at our own university…”

At Zahedan University, the officials changed lunchtime to 1130 a.m. as a measure to prevent students’ protest on this national day of protest.

Four more political prisoners have been executed in Iran, bringing the total of those put to death under new 'moderate' Hassan Rouhani to almost 400.
