A male student's pants were stapled shut by university security.

Security at Tehran University of Science and Research found a tear in a male student's jeans.

According to the Amir Kabir newsletter, university security guards have adopted a method similar to that of the revolutionary committees of the 1960s to suppress students. A law enacted in recent months to deal with students who wear the optional hijab included holding workshops on washing and corpse washing, which were held at the Orujian Complex of the Behesht Zahra Organization.

Now, they have imposed new rules for students, which prohibit them from entering the university even with jeans that have "zaps" (tear or abrasions). According to a report in the Amirkabir news agency, security guards at the Tehran Azad University of Science and Research prevented a student from entering the university wearing jeans with zaps.

The security forces locked the student in question inside the kiosk, took his student card, and after stapling the zipper of his pants, allowed him to enter the university. The Amirkabir newsletter called the security forces' behavior "a repetition of the brutality of the 1960s."

After the 1979 revolution, the committee patrols treated women and men who did not observe the Islamic dress code with violence, and one of these acts of violence was hitting women and girls whose hair was visible from under their headscarves or headscarves with a pin. Also, if the collar of a man's shirt was open, it was sewn shut with staples.

Since the beginning of nationwide protests in September of last year, many students have been subjected to violence and even arrested by security forces and university administrators. Many have also been banned from studying, suspended, and threatened.

Following published reports regarding the behavior of security guards towards students at the aforementioned university, the head of security at Amirkabir University also announced an increase in security patrols at the university since yesterday morning, many of which invaded the interior of faculties and classrooms.

Last week, security forces at Shahid Beheshti University attacked the library and classrooms and assaulted students who were not wearing the Islamic hijab. The security forces confiscated the student ID cards of girls who were not wearing the hijab, demanded an apology from the professor for not wearing the hijab, and dragged him out of the classroom. In response, students staged a sit-in and refused to attend classes.
