Other students reportedly held simultaneous sit-ins at other Tehran colleges.
Political dissidents and moderate critics of the Iranian government joined students at the Amir Kabir University, and students concluded their protest with a statement denouncing rights violations in Iran.
Separately, 180 economics students from Tehran University and other faculties published an open letter urging "political and economic stability," moderation, and greater contacts with the world to resolve Iran's economic problems.
The statement, published in "Donya-ye Eqtesad," an economic journal, deplored Iran's dependence on oil revenues and state interventionism that has restricted the private sector and made economic production "very weak and negligible."
