The Other Tehran: Student Arrests……….


UCLA police arrest 14 students. Police at the University of California, Los Angeles have arrested 14 demonstrators, mostly students, and dispersed many others who were protesting to a rise in tuition fees. An estimated 500 protesters repeatedly interrupted a UC Regents board meeting deliberating a 32 percent hike in undergraduate tuition fees — a move which was ultimately approved. Some protesters planned to remain at UCLA as part of a 24-hour peaceful demonstration until the full board meeting which is scheduled to put the move to vote on Thursday. The students were holding banners protesting the increase and shouting, "Cut from the top!" Tuition at UC campuses would increase by $585 in the spring, and then another $1,344 next fall……..” Press TV (Iran)

I know that Westwood was largely Iranian, off campus (haven't been there in a while). I didn’t know that the mullahs also considered it Iranian territory.
