Thousands of Iranians Protest Near University TEHRAN, June 10 (Reuters) - Thousands of Iranians took to the streets in the early hours of Wednesday chanting anti-government slogans after police surrounded a student dormitory at Tehran University in the capital, witnesses said. "Political prisoners must be freed," some 3,000 people shouted in a square near the university, the scene almost four years ago of the biggest unrest since the 1979 revolution. Other chants were directed against Iran's clerical rulers. Many people said they had gathered after hearing calls by U.S.-based Iranian exile satellite television channels to go to the campus after student protests there earlier on Tuesday. Some people lit fires in the streets, but police had so far not intervened in the peaceful protests. iran-daneshjoo.org URGENT: Heavy clashes rock Tehran university and neighboring areas SMCCDI (Information Service) June 10, 2003 Heavy clashes rocked, late this evening, the Tehran University and its neighboring areas as the students resisted to the brutal attack of the Islamic regime's special units sent in rush to put an end to their peaceful gathering.
