On October 10, Polytechnic University students in Tehran gathered for the fifth day. They protested against the dire guild situation of the students, lack of safety and their exclusion from a university hostel, and lack of addressing the case of Amena Zangeneh, a graduate student of this university who died a few days ago due to lack of safety.

In addition, they protested against not dismissing the mercenary president and vice president of the university, exerting pressure on families of the students, and threatening the protesting students by the agents of a ministry of intelligence services (MIOS) branch known as the disciplinary committee.

Amena Zangeneh, a Polymer Engineering graduate student, lost her life on Tuesday October 4 due to toxic gas and vapour in the bathroom of the university. At nights, she had to sleep in the university’s prayer room due to lack of university hostel.

Also, a group of Meli University (aka Beheshti University) students gathered on Sunday October 9 and protested the poor quality of food in the university.

In Zanjan, the students gathered in the campus of Zanjan university on October 9 protesting the clergy-made reactionary plan of gender segregation. They sang the anthem “Yar-e Dabestani or School Friend” and chanted slogans such as “students die but will not accept humiliation” against the gender segregation plan.

The students of Zanjan university also gathered on October 4 protesting installation of wall between the girls and boys buffet, and gender separation of bus services and the university’s technical and engineering schools libraries.

Moreover, students from Ferdowsi university in Mashhad, and the universities of Shahrekord, Kurdistan, and Yazd were among the university students who protested against the students’ dire guild and welfare conditions last week.
