TEHRAN: An estimated 100 students staged a rare demonstration Monday against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, calling him a "dictator" and scuffling with hard-line students at Tehran University.

Ahmadinejad, who was giving a speech to a select group at the university to mark the beginning of the academic year, ignored the chants of "death to the dictator" and continued with his speech on the merits of science and the pitfalls of Western-style democracy, witnesses said.
