Iranian Students Stage Protests

BEIRUT--Iranian students staged antigovernment protests nationwide Tuesday, turning an annual commemoration of student political activism into an opportunity to voice opposition to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the regime that backs him.

Videos posted online showed students marching across campus grounds with green banners--the color of the opposition--holding pictures of jailed students, and chanting "death to the dictator" and "free student prisoners."
