Iranian security forces laid siege to Sharif University in Tehran on Sunday night, trapping protesting students inside and shooting at them, as demonstrations across Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini continued, according to footage and reports shared on social media.

Earlier on Sunday morning, a video was shared showing students at the university chanting slogans using curse words against Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Later in the afternoon and evening, reports were shared online that security forces had blocked the entrances and exits to the campus and begun cracking down on the students, shooting at them and firing tear gas towards them.

One video from the scene showed students running away from security forces in a parking garage at the university. A number of other videos showed security forces firing large number of bullets towards students on the campus.
