'Stand with Gaza or leave Iran' http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=79982§ionid=351020101 Wed, 31 Dec 2008 00:43:16 GMT Iranian students in front of the Egyptian Interests Section in Tehran Iranian students say the Egyptian Interests Section in Tehran will be closed unless Cairo rectifies its policies toward the Palestinian people. The students, who stormed a British embassy compound earlier in the evening, sent an open letter to the director of the interests section on Tuesday and set a 48-hour deadline for the Egyptian government to condemn the Israeli atrocities in the Gaza Strip. They warned that if Cairo refuses to do so, the interests section will be closed, ISNA reported. The students urged Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to end the country's support for the Israeli siege of the Gaza Strip. "Iran's Islamic Revolution proved that the stability of governments is dependent on public support rather than reliance on fake superpowers," reads part of the letter. The students declared that the Egyptian government should break its silence in regard to the Israeli attacks on the Palestinian people, and if it fails to do so, its interest section personnel should leave Tehran by 12 noon on Thursday. However, the Iranian government has made no statement on the students' demands. MGH/HGL
