Pres. Raisi to meet students on Azar 16th

Tehran, IRNA – Iran’s vice-president for parliamentary affairs Mohammad Hosseini said on Saturday that Iran’s president Ebrahim Raisi will meet the students on the occasion of University Student Day (Azar 16 or December 7).

Hosseini said that President Raisi will make remarks among students on the occasion of University Student Day (Azar 16 or December 7).

In the Iranian calendar, the day Azar 16th (December 7) has been designated as University Student Day.

This name has its roots in commemorating the anniversary of the killing of three Iranian students of the University of Tehran on December 7, 1953, when they were martyred by military forces of the Shah's regime.

The three students organized a protest against the resumption of political relations between Iran and Britain as well as the official visit by Richard Nixon, the then vice president of the United States, around four months after the 1953 Iranian coup d'état to overthrow the democratically-elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh in order to reinvigorate monarchical rule of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

Mostafa Bozorgnia, Ahmad Ghandchi, and Azar Shariat Razavi are the three martyred students, who lost their lives when they stood against tyranny.
