(left in poster) and the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, rally outside
Tehran University Wednesday, July 14, 1999 in Tehran, Iran. Hard-line Iranian
clerics mobilized tens of thousands of supporters at a rally Wednesday
to counter six days of pro-democracy demonstrations and unrest on a scale
unseen in Iran in two decades. The unrest began when police without authorization
stormed a Tehran University dormitory on Friday hours after students rallied
against the banning of a liberal newspaper. (AP Photo/Kamran Jebreili)
