Iranian Student Protests of July, 1999 (Also known as 18th of Tir and Kuye Daneshgah Disaster (Persian: فاجعه کوی دانشگاه) in Iran) (7-13 July[1]) were the "worst", most widespread and violent public protests in Iran, since the early years of the Iranian Revolution.[2]

They began on July 8 with peaceful demonstrations in Tehran against the closure of the reformist newspaper, Salam. This was followed by an attack on a student dormitory that night by vigilantes and riot police in which a student was killed. This in turn sparked six days of demonstrations and rioting throughout the country in which at least three more people were killed and more than 200 injured.[1]

Following the Iran student riots in 1999, more than seventy students disappeared. In addition, to an estimated 1,200-1,400 detained, the "whereabouts and condition" of five students named by Human Rights Watch remained unknown, but are believed to be detained by Islamic authorities.

  • Seriously, people - there is something wrong with the Muslim train of thought.

    It makes people irrational.

    It has nothing to do with Iranians. I grew up w/ Iranian-Americans (or Persians - whatever). Rational, educated, fun, people - but they were non-muslims.

    The muslim religion encourages fanatism and assanine anti-social behavoir.

    (And really fuck yourself - if you think Christianity does - Americans/and the west have been over that for 400 years)

    Islam is for idiots.
