伊朗警察鸣枪驱散德黑兰抗议人群 (Iranian Police Fire Warning Shots to Disperse Tehran Protesters)
在德黑兰，伊朗安全部队鸣枪示警并使用警棍驱散纪念伊朗全国学生日的反对派抗议者。 目击者说，星期一抗议者聚集首都附近的街道上和大学里，高喊“独裁者去死”，意指伊朗领导。据报导在伊朗城市马什哈德、科曼和伊斯法罕也发生了抗议。 在德黑兰，伊朗警方和巴斯基民兵组织攻击街道抗议者。但是被驱散的活动人士又重新在附近街角聚集。安全部队还包围了德黑兰大学，阻止改革派人士加入学生们的反政府集会。 伊朗反对派领导人穆萨维在他的网站上发表声明，说攻击街道上的民众并试图让学生们沉默的行为，让政府正丧失其合法性。
另一位知名改革派人士，伊朗神职人员卡鲁比在星期一刊登的采访中说，镇压不能解决问题。他对法国报纸《世界报》说，政府必须容忍、接受批评来实现和解。
Iranian security forces have fired warning shots and used batons to disperse opposition protesters in Tehran marking the country's annual Student Day.
Witnesses say protesters gathered on streets and in universities around the capital Monday chanting "death to the dictator," a reference to Iran's leadership. Protests also were reported in the Iranian cities of Mashhad, Kerman and Isfahan.
Iranian police and Basij militiamen charged at street protesters in Tehran, prompting the activists to scatter and re-group on nearby street corners. Security forces also surrounded Tehran University to prevent reformists from joining students holding anti-government rallies.
Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi issued a statement on his Web site saying the government is losing its legitimacy by fighting people in the streets and trying to silence students.
Iranian cleric Mehdi Karoubi, another prominent reformist, said in an interview published Monday that repression is not the answer. He told the French newspaper Le Monde that the government must tolerate and accept criticism to achieve reconciliation.
