The price paid by this generation of Iranian student activists is rising by the day. And as the repression deepens, their demands are becoming more radical.

An untold number of students arrested have faced abuse, torture or sexual assault in detention, the activist said. Others have been sentenced to months or years in prison in, or banned from university dorms and campuses and barred from traveling abroad.

“As much as the oppression has spread, the activism has spread,” said Sarabandi, who was repeatedly jailed and threatened. The Tehran man, a 37-year-old completing a PhD in cognitive science, took part in the 2009 protests. Then pursuing his undergraduate degree, he attended seminars and rallies on campus, where he met other like-minded students. Basij police forces beat him during protests, he said, but he was never detained.

Experts explain what exactly Iran's morality police do, and why women are risking their lives on the front lines to fight against it.
