On October 2nd, police forces in Iran began to detain and use violence against groups of students at Sharif University who gathered in protest of Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme leader. As the protest continued, the Revolutionary Guard, a branch of Iran’s military, would surround Page 2: the university.

The youth of Iran are heading much of the resistance that has been displayed thus far. This includes bypassing government internet blockages, damaging transportation used by armed forces, and organizing and executing the many protests that have resulted in clashes with the police/military. Joyce Karam, a Senior Correspondent for The National, shares on Twitter footage taken by a witness in Tehran. The video shows a hooded person being transported by armed agents on a motorbike. Karam’s tweets also recognize that this latest clash between protestors and the police was especially violent, and was a more severe incident that has taken place in the three weeks since demonstrations have begun. The events that have occurred since Amini’s death are reminiscent of July 1999. A student-led movement came to a climax as the undercover members of the Revolutionary Guard and a paramilitary group known as Basij would invade a dormitory in the middle of the night. Similar to the resistance that Iran is presently experiencing, the movement against an oppressive and conservative government would be headed by students who wished to express their discontent with leadership. In an article recounting some of the events that took place in Iran in 1999, an anonymous correspondent for the Middle East Eye writes, “The attack, swift and ruthless, felt like a blitzkrieg. Rooms were scorched and several students were grievously wounded after being thrown from the rooftop. One student was killed that night.” What would result would be a mass sit-in at Tehran University’s steps that would put the city center to a halt. If history repeats itself, which it has thus far, then the response to the siege of Sharif University may be radical and powerful.
