Actuality; OU Iranian Student Campus Protest
- Transcript
This was the scene this afternoon on the south over to Islamic groups demonstrate separate viewpoints. It spokes me for the pro-Islamic government had this to say. The other side, there are some communist students, the Indian students, there are against establishment of Islamic government. They want to have an communist party, and they have right now a communist party, but they want to establish a communist government, which is their own problem of Russia, and we don't like them. The reason is that Islam is against communism, and we cannot get along with them. All of the people you see at this side are the followers of Imam Khomeini, the leader of Iran. The medical for support, testing, recent killings in Iran, and you're demonstrating against the strongness of crimes and atrocities committed by the IRP, the so-called Islamic Republic
Party, against the people of Iran. They have killed about 41 people by execution scores during the past two days, and they have been prisoned about 1,000 political prisoners, they're fittering to kill 400 of them, and they're fittering one of the major political organizations in Iran, which has got a lot of popular support, support called the People's Majority Organization of Iran. They have fittering this organization, and pulled the central trap ways of this organization to give themselves up. Otherwise, they'll execute the 400 people. I asked a student who fears the pro-Islamic's to protest on campus like this. If they stay within the laws of consuring this, yes, the laws being that they can't wear masks and have to do it within decent hours, I guess they have as much a right as anyone else. OUPD was not a scene, and there was a skirmish at the start of the demonstration, but there were no reported injuries or arrests.
I'm Bill Edwards, one of six news.
