TEHRAN -- University of Tehran Chancellor Farhad Rahbar rejected claims on Tuesday that he had asked the police to enter the university’s dormitory on June 15.

The response came as MP Mohsen Kouhkan told reporters on Tuesday that security forces had entered the dormitory at a request by the university chancellor.
“The police’s entrance into the University of Tehran’s dormitory was not on my request or with my permit. I strongly reject the remarks of this member of the Majlis,” he told the Mehr News Agency on Tuesday.
The chancellor also pointed out that he was informed of the event after the police had entered the dormitory.
Kouhkan, a leading MP in the conservative camp, said, “Rahbar himself had asked the security forces to enter the University of Tehran’s dormitory in order to maintain the security.”
Kouhkan also added according to the law, the police could enter the dormitory only on a request from the university chancellor.
On June 15, a group of unidentified persons had illegally entered the dormitory and beat a number of students, damaged their property and detained some of them. The students had protested the election results.
The police claim they had stepped in to safeguard the dormitory
