Iraqi Students Protest

"A group of students from the Mustansirya University - College of Dentistry and the Union of Iraqi Students and Youth wrote an appeal to President Jalal Talibani, Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki and the Minister of Higher Education asking them to reconsider a decision to relocate their school from Karama, west of the Tigris, to the main Mustansiriya University campus at Palestine Street, south of Sadr City, in Baghdad. "There is a plan today to relocate 500 students from the Mustansirya University - College of Dentistry to the campus of horror and dread in Palestine Street ... where militias work day and night to spread fear among students," wrote the students. "This is a perilous decision that should be reversed before a huge disaster similar to the one that took place in the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.""
