From Shiraz today:
Thursday, November 19, 2009 Take more Prisoners
In an effort to prevent student demonstrations on Dec. 7 two more Shiraz University students were picked up by the Intelligence Ministry when they were called in by the administration to face the disciplinary board. They are Neda Eskandari and Khadijeh Ghahremani. Other students have been picked up recently but I do not know their names. Everyone at the University is unsettled. (On Nov. 23 four more female students were called before the disciplinary committee. Once they report, they are handed over to the intelligence ministry and hauled off. Universities who reported similar incidents earlier in the school year report torture, both physical and psychological, as well as being forced to sign confessions of spying for and acting on foreign urging).
