Holding pictures of jailed student Ahmad Batebi, Iranian students
chant a song during a gathering marking the annual Student Day,
at the Tehran university campus in Iran, Sunday, Dec. 7, 2003.
Student Day marks the death of three students in 1953 protesting
the visit to Iran of Richard Nixon. Students also denounced President
Mohammad Khatami for failing to stand up to hard-liners. Around
1,500 pro-reform students rallied inside the university campus,
saying freedom was the biggest demand of Iranians 25 years after
the 1979 Islamic revolution that had promised freedom. (AP Photo/Vahid
