July 9th 1999 Students Uprising

July 9th is the anniversary of the Student Uprising of 1999. On this day tragedy struck when security forces of the regime broke into some the dormitories of the students.

Next, the students were surprised by violent attacks of the regime's security forces, some were thrown several stories from the balconies and many were  violently beaten.

What came next was the vicious beaten of hundreds of students by the security forces of the Islamic Republic, the thugs who sometimes even are in civilian attire. Several students, such as Ezzat Ebrahim-nejad,  will be killed by the security apparatus.

This tragic event was the basis for the mass demonstration which followed and lasted for 5 days. Several thousands of students were beaten, many lost their lives, and many ended up in the regime's dungeons where they're still being kept.
