Editing 1999 Iranian student protests (section)

=== Student Uprising: July 1999, "18 Tir" ===
The Iranian student protests of July 1999 is considered to be the first massive uprising initiated by the generation born under the Islamic Republic Regime. The protest grew out of response to the Islamic Republic's violent attack on Tehran University's student dormitory on July 9, 1999, in which  numerous students were seriously injured and several killed. Over the next five days proceeding the attack, approximately 50,000 students protested in [[Tehran]], in addition to thousands more in various universities across Iran, against both conservatives and reformists under the Islamic Republic Regime and [[Ali Khamenei|The Supreme Leader Khamenei]], in particular. Student protester's main demand called for the replacement of the Islamic Republic with a government that upheld the ideals of secular democracy. The student protests of July 1999 is considered to be a foundation for the [[Iranian Green Movement|Green Movement of 2009]].
