Iranian opposition websites are reporting that a number of students at Tehran University on May 1 protested against Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad, who was visiting the university to attend a ceremony.

The opposition website "Jaras" reported that "several hundred" students protested against the Iranian president and chanted slogans. The students were reportedly not allowed in the hall where Ahmadinejad was giving a speech.

The above video is reportedly from the protest. The students are chanting "Shame on you dictator, leave the university alone."
