As published videos show, clashes broke out between Besij militia and protesters at Sharif University in Tehran. The students overran the Besij forces and entered the university building.
“Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!”

In Eastern Kurdistan and Iran, teachers went on strike and supported the demonstrations with a call from the Coordinating Committee of Teachers' Unions. As was heard from Sine (Sanandaj) yesterday, Iranian regime forces opened fire on female students gathered in the city.
In recent weeks, female students in Eastern Kurdistan and other parts of Iran have taken part in protests inside and outside schools, removing their headscarves and chanting slogans against the regime. On Sunday evening, however, it was not only students and pupils who took to the streets. Widespread protests took place in Sine, Diwandar and Serdesht in Eastern Kurdistan, Bandar Abbas and various parts of Mazandaran province, as well as in Tehran.
