A group of about 100 Iranian students at the country's top university in Tehran staged a noisy protest against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday shortly before he gave a speech there.
"Ahmadinejad is Pinochet! Iran will not become Chile," the students chanted, referring to the late dictator Augusto Pinochet, a witness said, adding that they were blocked from leaving the campus by anti-riot police.
The demonstrators at Tehran University, Iran's top academic institution, were calling for the release of jailed students, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
The students were also confronted by a rival group of supporters of the hardline president who carried a banner saying "Shame on you hypocrite! Leave the university!"
Last December, a speech by Ahmadinejad at another university in Tehran was disrupted by demonstrators protesting against a crackdown on student activist in the university.

it seems as though we have gotten to them teaching more of standing up for you rights through the democratic system. there is no reason for them to have been prosacuted as long as they wernt violent. over all i believe they did a good job.

Hmmm....I dont think "we" taught them that per se......Students in hardline countries usually tend to be more liberal than the rest of the population.
1. they are young
2. they have access to information about the rest of the world that is difficult for other citizens to get.
3. they have an education
