Tens of thousands of Iranians defied the Islamic republic's official warnings by coming to the support of the Iranian Teachers in order to participate in a banned rally.

Tehran witnessed, this morning, an unprecedented rally, in size, against the Clerical leadership while the Security forces, shocked by the Popular presence, stayed afar in order to avoid an open rebellion.

Slogans, such as, "Marg bar Estebdad" (Down with Dictatorship) and other hostile slogans to the regime was shouted by the demonstrators who marched from the Parliament toward the Tehran University where they shouted "Daneshjoo, Moalem, Peyvandetan Mobarak" (Students, Teachers, blessed is your unity).
