TEHRAN - Iranian Interior Minister Abdolvahed Mousavi-Lari (L) is driven
from the Tehran University July 9 after a student protest over the closure
of a leading pro-government newspaper turned violent. Pro-democracy students
demonstrated in front of Tehran University July 10 for a third straight
day after hardliner vigilantes armed with clubs waded into some 10,000
students rallying at the university yesterday. Iran's higher education
minister Mostafa Moin resigned Saturday over the crackdown on thousands
of students and police handling of the unrest. Photo by Karin Farouz (Reuters)
