History
History
In 1999, Tarbiat students participated in peaceful protests due to the closure of a reformist newspaper, Salam. The students were cracked down by the Basij during their sleep. Personal belongings were destroyed and a student was killed after being thrown off the roof. The event led to a wave of protests in major cities in Iran, with protestors marching onto Supreme leader Ali Khamenei's residence. Slogans were chanted against Khamenei. Security forces cracked down on protestors, killing 3 and injuring 200 and arrested hundreds. In 2024, some students boycotted the presidential elections. This was done in advocacy for change in Iran and in commitment to "Woman, Life, Freedom". Following the killing of Amir Mohammad Khaleghi in February 2025, students protested against Iranian police being only present to enforce the hijab but not to protect students.
