Zahedan university

Iranian security forces raided Baluchistan University –Zahedan hostel and arrested five student activists Thursday evening. The raid took place following a demonstration earlier that day. The demonstration was held to mark the ‘Students’ Day’ in Iran.

Those arrested were named in ‘May Makran’ Persian blog as Behnam Brahovi, Mosa Rahimi, Mehdiye Sarabondi and Sayad Ali Parsa. The five activists were taken to an undisclosed location in an unmarked white colour vehicle.

A number of doors and windows were smashed during the raid which also generated fear amongst students.
