Iran and Nerd News: 500+ Arrests, Including Students at Campus Clashes

The Guardian reports that Iran has arrested some 500 activists, reformers, journalists, and students as the post-election protests continue.

Here is a blurb about students specifically:

The detention of prominent people has added to multiple arrests of students at Iran's universities. An estimated 200 were arrested after clashes at Tehran University at the weekend, although many were later released. More than 100 were taken into custody on Monday after security forces fired tear gas at protesters at Shiraz University.

I add a personal opinion that the completely spineless non-response and seeming lack of interest from the Obama White House is a towering disgrace. State's bit with Twitter was good, but not enough.

One more thing: See this from CNN. The remark about Iranian students comes around the 0:50 mark.
