Iranian riot police have surrounded Tehran University to prevent
the opposition from hijacking a state-organised rally, a witness
said.
"There are hundreds of riot police, (they are) everywhere around
Tehran University and nearby streets," said the witness, who asked
not to be named.
Iran commemorates on Monday the killing of three students in 1953
under the former Shah.
The opposition is expected to use the state-organised rallies in the country to revive protests against June's disputed presidential election.
Iran on Saturday banned foreign media from reporting on the
Student Day rally.
Police and elite Revolutionary Guards have warned that any illegal
rally will be fiercely confronted.
