Students in Iran have ignored an official warning to stay off the streets despite authorities cracking down in an attempt to quell widespread revolt. On 29 October, the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards told protesters that Saturday would be their 'last day of riots'. According to news reports, security forces may be preparing to ramp up their response to demonstrators, having already used tear gas and live rounds to disperse crowds. But the protests – now in their seventh week after the death of a young woman in custody – appear to show no signs of letting up, with students raising their voices against the government both in the streets and on university campuses.
