Thousands of Iranian students rallied outside universities in Tehran and other cities as institutions reopened a month after deadly nationwide protests, demanding answers about the government's handling of the crisis. The demonstrations, which began on the first day of classes, continued for a second day, with students calling for greater freedoms and more transparency from authorities.
