A group of university students and female seminary scholars gathered in front of UN Office in Tehran protesting against wide scale arrest of Bahraini women by criminal Saudi and Bahraini military forces.

The protesters voiced serious concern about the brutal massacre of the defenseless people of Bahrain who have been peacefully protesting against the bad governance of their political rulers.

IRNA reported some students and scholars expressing that their protest rally about the obvious broad violations of the human rights in Bahrain, criticizing all countries that violate international conventions against their own peoples on various pretexts.

Protesters meanwhile asked the Iranian officials and the other Islamic countries to do all what they can to free the innocent female prisoners, whose only demand has been having a free, good governance.

In the meantime, Iranian students Thursday began a three-day sit-in outside Saudi Arabia's embassy in Tehran to condemn Riyadh's military intervention in Bahrain and to back protests there.

The sit-in comes after the kingdom threatened to withdraw its diplomats following similar protests outside the mission 10 days ago.

Iran's Fars news agency reported that "six to seven petrol bombs were hurled against the embassy" during the earlier protests.

On April 17, Saudi Arabia threatened to recall its diplomats from Iran unless the Islamic republic improved their security.

Iran has repeatedly condemned the dispatch of Saudi troops to Bahrain to support the Bahraini forces' crackdown on demonstrations there against the majority of the population of the country.
