Female students at Al-Zahra University in Tehran today (Saturday) shouted at President Ibrahim Raisi "Go to hell", in an unprecedented act of protest against the oppression of women in the country.
Raisi infuriated the female students when he arrived at the university to address the academic staff and female students, reciting a poem comparing protesters to flies.
In a video published on Twitter, the female students were seen shouting in protest "mools go to hell" and "we don't want corrupt guests on campus".
In recent days, the protest has spread from the streets to the schools as well, and in some cases female students have removed their head coverings.
A few days ago, an opposition website published photos of schoolgirls removing their head coverings and shouting to a representative of the government who came to give a speech: "Basij, go away."
In another video, a woman in the city of Mashhad is seen painting graffiti on a wall that reads "Death to the dictator".
In the protests following the death of Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old Kurdish woman who died after being arrested by the police, around 185 people have reportedly been killed so far.
Hundreds were injured and thousands were arrested in the events.
Websites of Iranian human rights organizations report shooting at protesters in several cities.
A student in Tehran said today: "They can kill us, ban us, but we will not be silent any longer. Our classmates are in prison, so how can we be silent? In the city of Skaz, female students gathered and shouted "woman, life, freedom".
The official media in Iran tried to downplay the value of the ongoing protest for the fourth week.
The reports said that the protest was "limited in scope".
It was also said that some merchants in the market in Tehran closed their shops due to fear of the protesters, while denying that it was an organized strike.
