Students in Iran staged anti-government rallies at several universities for a second day, testing a fragile calm imposed after last month’s deadly crackdown on protests.
Footage published on social media on Sunday showed chants directed at the country’s leadership, calls for the release of political detainees, and clashes between demonstrators and security forces at universities across Tehran and other cities.
