Iran, July 9 (Press TV) Days after Iran's post-election rallies, hundreds gather near Tehran University where security forces and anti-riot police maintained a strong presence.
The renewed demonstrations were called to mark the 10th anniversary of the 1999 student protests in the country.
Iranian security forces fired rounds of tear gas to disperse the protesters.
Authorities had earlier warned people against participating in any rallies in the city on Thursday, saying no permit had been issued for any such demonstrations.
Crowds of protesters also gathered in other sites in the Iranian capital, but there has been no official word on the number of participants in those demonstrations.
