Women students tell Iran’s president to ‘get lost’ as unrest rages
Reuters – Oct 8th 2022
DUBAI, Oct 8 (Reuters) – Female students in Tehran chanted “get lost” as Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi visited their university campus on Saturday and condemned protesters enraged by the death of a young woman in custody, videos on social media showed.
Raisi addressed professors and students at Alzahra University in Tehran, reciting
a poem that equated “rioters” with flies, as nationwide demonstrations entered a fourth week.
“They imagine they can achieve their evil goals in universities,” state TV reported. “Unbeknownst to them, our students and professors are alert and will not allow the enemy to realise their evil goals.”
A video posted on Twitter by the activist 1500tasvir website showed what it said were women students chanting “Rai
si get lost” and “Mullahs get lost” as the president visited their campus. Another social media video showed students chanting: “We don’t want a corrupt guest”, in reference to Raisi.
Reuters could not immediately verify the videos.
An Iranian state coroner’s report denied that 22-year-old Mahsa Amini had died due to blows to the head and limbs while in morality police custody and linked her death to pre-existing medical conditions, state media said on Friday.
Amini, an Iranian Kurd, was arre
sted
in Tehran on Sept. 13 for wearing “inappropriate attire”, and died three days later.
