Iranian students clashed with security forces at universities across Iran on Sunday, according to the country’s activist and human rights groups.
Sunday’s violence came as nationwide protests gripped the country despite threats from the country’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, reported CNN.
The Guard’s chief, Hossein Salami, had warned young Iranians that Saturday would be the last day of the protests, first sparked by the September 16 death of Mahsa Amini in the custody of the country’s morality police.
On Saturday, Salami called on Iranian young people specifically to desist from protesting, reported CNN.
“Today is the last day of the riots. Do not come to the streets again. What do you want from this nation? “ Salami said.
In a video obtained by CNN via the pro-reform activist outlet Iran Wire, two uniformed officers can be seen in what appears to be an attempt to arrest a protester. The video is said to have been recorded at Sanandaj Technical College in northwestern Iran.
