		<title>A Warning to Iran’s Student Movement, Hossein Bastani</title>
		<description><![CDATA[it is easy to predict that the success of student activists in imposing ‎their will and demands on government officials at academic institutions, such as the ‎Teachers Training college and Zanjan University (where the students boldly took the ‎initiative into their own hands), would result in a backlash by extreme right-wing officials ‎who would plan an “instructive” counter-attack against the student movement.‎Hopefully such a reaction will not come. But from an analytic perspective, one must not ‎negate it altogether. We hope that by being alert and preventive measures, the student ‎movement will be able to pass the next few weeks and months with minimum turbulence ‎and costs.‎]]></description>
