Each year the Day of 16th of Azarrecalls the matchless sacrifices rendered by the student at Tehran University some decades ago.
Student Day is the martyrdom anniversary of several students of Tehran University on December 7, 1953 (16 Azar 1332 in the Iranian calendar) by agents of colonial powers in the Pahlavi era.
The innocent students were killed when the brutal forces of Shah Regime opened live ammunition on the students of University of Tehran during a protest rally and strike. The protests and strike came in response to the resumption of Shah Regime’s relations with some colonial powers, following the coup d'état of 1953.
According to Imam, the future and destiny of the country rest with the all students which are engaged in acquiring knowing in different fields.
Imam also defined teachers as of great vales as they train students who are of future builder of the nation.
Despite all crackdowns by the Pahlavi Regime and staunch opposition by the world colonial powers, the Islamic Revolution gained victory under the wise leadership of Imam in 1979. Imam founded an Islamic-democratic system which strengthened the Islamic and oppressed nations around the globe and brought prosperity for the Iranian nation.
It is mention to worthy that 16 of Azar on Iranian calendar is marked as national student day.
