"Protests took place at universities across Iran, including these cities so far: Mashhad, Isfahan, Shiraz, Kerman, Tabriz, and Karaj. In the capital, protests were held at Tehran University main campus and Tehran University College of Art campus as well as other major universities in Tehran including: Amir Kabir, Khaje Nasir, Sharif, and Elm o Sanat.

Tehran University was completely surrounded by anti-riot forces since morning. The security presence was so heavy, one eyewitness circling the streets bordering campus in her car said it "felt like martial law."

Gunshots were heard at the College of Art campus on Valiasr Avenue, about 2 pm Tehran time."

"Eyewitness in Tehran heard these newly-coined slogans:

.......Khamenei bedune/ be zoodi sar negoone: "Khamenei should know, he is on his way out"
.......Nang ma, nang ma/ Rahbar aldang ma: "Our curse, our incompetent leader"
.......Pool naft chi shode/ Kharj basiji shode: "What happened to the oil money/ It was spent on the Basiji""
