Activist Twitter account 1500tasvir, which has around 160,000 followers, posted several videos showing Sharif University, traditionally a hotbed of dissent, surrounded by dozens of riot police. Students had been protesting at numerous universities on Sunday and demonstrations were held in several cities such as Tehran, Yazd, Kermanshah, Sanandaj, Shiraz and Mashhad, with participants chanting "independence, freedom, death to Khamenei," earlier social media posts showed.
Iranian authorities have not given a death toll, while saying many members of the security forces have been killed by "rioters and thugs backed by foreign foes." Last week state television said 41 had died, including members of the security forces. Iranian state media shared a video of pro-government students, who gathered at the Ferdowsi University in Mashhad, chanting "the Islamic Republic is our red line."
Iran's police authorities say Amini died of a heart attack and deny she was beaten to death in custody.
