From the BBC…

A second editor of a student publication in Iran has been detained following days of unrest in one of Tehran’s most prestigious universities.
Scuffles broke out last week between reformist and right-wing students at Amirkabir University, after several works were accused of insulting Islam.
However, the editors say the offending articles were forged.
Right-wing students have called for a purge of liberal and Western influence from higher education establishments.
Reports say groups of reformist students were guarding the editors of the student publications in their dormitories to protect them from arrest.
One had already been arrested but three remained free. When the students tried to move the three editors to Amirkabir University they were stopped by unknown people and the editor of a publication called Atiye was taken away.
