of Iran. College Students are fed up with the isolation from the world community. Students want.
Islam as a religion, but they don't want it running their lives. Young adults aren't able to act like.
normal teenagers. Police enforce dress codes on the women, forcing them to wear the traditional.
head scarf and over coat whenever they leave their house. Police also break into parties where.
there is dancing and alcohol even though they are of age. Kids aren't even allowed to walk in the.
streets with their girlfriends or boyfriends. Another problem in Iran is that many intelligent.
students attend college and after graduating don't get anywhere, because the economic problem.
in Iran has increased the difficulty of providing enough jobs for the college graduates. Each year.
one million young Iranians seek to enter the job market and less than half of the students succeed.
in finding a job. Fifteen to twenty five percent of students are unemployed which effects the poor.
and uneducated as well as the educated. This leads to a high number of students becoming drug.
addicts and young girls selling themselves as prostitutes in the middle of the streets just to have a.
meal at the end of the day. Students are ruining their lives because of the lack of freedom and.
opportunities in Iran and are not allowed to fix these problems, because the freedom to voice.
their opinion is not granted to them.
College students wanted to put an end to this form of government. On July 9, 1999.
students gathered up in the dorms of the University of Iran, to voice their opinions. They held a.
non violent protest against the government of Iran. After hearing about this, the infuriated.
government sent police to put an end to this illegal behavior. The police attacked the students.
brutally when they disagreed to follow their orders. Some students were thrown out of the dorm's.
windows and police burned down part of the dorm because of their disobedience.
