Iranian exile TV broadcasts urged people to demonstrate
More than 1,000 people have clashed with riot police in the Iranian capital Tehran, in the first major protest against the Islamic regime for more than six months.
The action began as a demonstration by students against plans to privatise some universities, but they were joined by hundreds more people chanting slogans against the powerful Muslim clerics.
