Fallout from Monday's Protest Continues

While it's very hard to get information from Iran right now, there is some news that's worth highlighting:

From the Human Rights House of IRAN (RAHANNA), comes word that
"At least 16 students of Tehran University School of Art who were trying to participate in Saneh Jaleh’s funeral, have been arrested by the security forces.


Sixteen students have been arrested after the violence erupted during Saneh Jaleh’s funeral. Jaleh was shot and killed by the security authorities on February 14th.

Furthermore, the Art University students who had gathered for the burial of Jaleh, were beaten by batons and stunned with tasers.

Hamid Hosseini(University of Art), Fataneh Rahghi(University of Art) and Sepehr Saheban (Khajeh Nasir University student) are 3 of the detainees.

Previously, it had been reported that Hassan Fathizadeh, Vahid Nosrati, Abbas Salehi, Abdollah Ranjbar, Fataneh Rahghi, Faraz Sarabi, Enayat Sahraei, Ali Sadighi, Mehrdad Mirzaei, Mohamamd- Tayeb Taheri, Faraz Fasharaki, Amir Binazar and Kourosh Khanmohamamdi have been arrested.

There is no information as to their whereabouts. Reliable sources report that the number of detainees is more than what is being reported." http://www.rahana.org/en/?p=10063

Saneh Jaleh was one of several students at the University of Art who put together a subversive video which included background sound from Pink Floyd's "Brick in the Wall." How many of these other students who have been disappeared also participated in that film?
