"The students marched on the gate and damaged it… The students chanted slogans and carried protesting placards," IRNA reported. According to the eyewitnesses, Iran's State Security Forces (SSF) had initially shut the main gate in to prevent large numbers gathering for the protest, but the students broke the gate so that others could enter. "Ahmadi-Pinochet, Iran will not become Chile!", "Death to dictator," "Free all political prisoners," "University is wide awake," "University is the last barricade," "Students die but will not be humiliated," "Mr. President the student movement will stand until the end", chanted the students. The demonstration took place as late last night and in the early morning hours, the State Security Forces (SSF) and agents of Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) arrested a number of students from various universities in Tehran, in an attempt to prevent a large student gathering in Tehran University to mark the Student Day in Iran..
