Get out of the rooms like good boys.

In June of 2009, students were attacked in dormitories throughout multiple universities in Iran. Some jumped out windows to escape the paramilitary volunteer militia who came armed with hoses, clubs, iron bars, truncheons and sometimes firearms.The vigilantes, attacking the students, did not wear uniforms or carry proper identification. Students were beaten and killed. A friend from Tehran says that some were thrown out their own window.

In February of 2010, a show examining the creative response to the crisis in suffrage in Iran was curated for the University of Texas. This poster was distributed at the university. A text on the back of the poster read:

The CNN Reporter said one Tehran University student e-mailed him as the assault on the dormitory happened between 1 and 5 a.m. Monday: "So around 4 a.m., he sends this very frightening e-mail. He says, 'Right now Ansaar [pro-government] forces are outside of buildings and threatening students to, 'Get out of the rooms like good boys.' Thank God the night is going to be over soon. Please pray for us!'".
