These recent developments take place as many students who fell victim to attacks by security agents attack are under special supervision in hospitals and reportedly in critical condition.  In addition, the body of Nasser Aminnejad, an aerospace engineering PhD candidate who was killed during the attack by plainclothes officers at Tehran University was buried on Saturday in the city of Yasooj, in western Iran.
