88 Tehran University Professors Rap Crackdown on Protestors

January 4, 2010 Visionmp.com news service

As many as 88 Tehran University professors have appealed to Iran’s supreme leader to stop violence against opposition protestors, said a pro-reform Web site.

The letter to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the latest challenge to the leadership, described the attacks as a sign of weakness in the ruling system.

The letter posted on The Greenroad Web site urged Khamenei to order arrest of the hard-line crackdown, which has gone up after protestors started shouting slogans against the supreme leader.

At least eight people died during clashes across Iran last month, including a nephew of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi. It was the worst bloodshed since the height of the unrest immediately after disputed June presidential election.
