“A student may die but will not accept humiliation,” they chanted at Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, in the southwestern province of Khuzestan, in an online video verified by AFP.
Young women and schoolgirls have been at the forefront of protests sparked by Amini’s death last month, after her arrest for an alleged breach of the Islamic republic’s strict dress code for women.
Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian of Kurdish origin, died three days after being taken into custody by the notorious morality police on September 13 while visiting Tehran with her younger brother.
Activists said the security services had warned Amini’s family against holding a ceremony and not to ask people to visit her grave Wednesday in Kurdistan province, otherwise “they should worry for their son’s life”.
Wednesday marks 40 days since Amini’s death and the end of the traditional mourning period in Iran.
Online videos showed students protesting Tuesday at Beheshti University and the Khaje Nasir Toosi University of Technology, both in Tehran, as well as Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, in Khuzestan province.
‘Attacked, strip-searched, beaten’
The fresh demonstrations came after security forces were accused by activists of beating schoolgirls at the Shahid Sadr girls vocational school in Tehran on Monday.
At least one student, 16-year-old Sana Soleimani, had been hospitalised, said 1500tasvir, which chronicles rights violations by Iran’s security forces.
Such reports have fuelled further anger among the Iranian public over the crackdown that the Oslo-based group Iran Human Rights said, in an updated toll Tuesday, had cost the lives of at least 141 protesters, up from 122 previously.
Students heckled the spokesman for ultra-conservative President Ebrahim Raisi as he addressed Tehran’s Khaje Nasir University, in a video published by the reformist paper Hammihan.
The security forces have also mounted a campaign of mass arrests of protesters and their supporters, including academics, journalists and even pop stars.
The judiciary said on Monday that more than 300 people had been indicted over the Amini protests and that four were charged with an offence that can carry the death penalty.
