On the 15th of June 2009, only after the results of the elections were announced, the violent attacks of the Hezbollah forces hand in hand with the Basijis and other anti- protest forces to the different universities and their dorms around the country with massive brutality, agonizing and severe acute actions against the students were carried out.
