Arrest Made in Tehran University Protests: MKO-Linked Individual Detained, Says Police Chief

Tehran’s police department has recently made headlines with the arrest of an individual linked to the terrorist organization Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO). This occurred during a student protest at Tehran University following the tragic murder of a student.

Brigadier General Abbasali Mohammadian shared details on Saturday night, explaining how the police noticed a suspicious motorcycle amidst the gathering and initiated a pursuit.

“The individual was of the same age as the students but was linked to the [MKO]. He was ultimately arrested,” he stated during a broadcast on IRIB Channel One.

Mohammadian revealed that the suspect had altered his motorcycle with specialized equipment. “We also arrested his accomplice today,” he added.

The police chief emphasized the importance of student vigilance, urging them to be proactive in preventing infiltrators from entering university grounds. He highlighted that while security personnel managed to prevent the suspect from entering the university, his mere presence posed potential risks.

In relation to the murder of Amir Mohammad Khaleghi, the student who was fatally stabbed by two thieves at the university’s dormitory complex, Mohammadian assured the public that police are conducting an immediate investigation, despite the challenges posed by inadequate lighting at the crime scene.

He confirmed that authorities are actively working to apprehend the perpetrators involved in this crime.

  • On Saturday, Tehran’s Prosecutor General Ali Salehi reported that suspects linked to the murder have already been detained, while investigations continue.
  • Khaleghi, just 19 years old, was attacked by two unknown assailants who stole his backpack outside the university dormitory on Wednesday.
  • Despite being rushed to Shariati Hospital, he succumbed to his injuries on Thursday morning.

The shocking incident has ignited student protests at Tehran University dormitories, with students demanding enhanced safety measures and justice for Khaleghi.

As tensions rise, the community calls for increased security and accountability to ensure the safety of all students on campus.
