Students angry at stunning of Iranian-American

UCLA students and civil rights activists demanded an independent investigation into a campus police officer's use of a stun gun on an Iranian-American student.

Speakers at a news conference and subsequent rally Friday said the shocking of Mostafa Tabatabainejad, 23, sent a chill across the campus.

"As students we feel our safety is endangered, and we do not feel safe on campus," said Sabiha Ameen, president of the Muslim Students Association.

Tabatabainejad was shocked Tuesday night after arguing with a campus police officer who was conducting a routine check of student identification at the University of California, Los Angeles, Powell Library computer lab.

Campus police say he refused to show his student ID and refused to leave the building when asked. Police said they shocked him with the stun gun after he urged others to join his resistance and a crowd began to gather.

The incident was recorded on another student's camera phone and showed Tabatabainejad screaming while on the floor of the computer lab. It was posted on the video-sharing Web site YouTube.

Students at the news conference said there was no sign that Tabatabainejad was targeted because of his ethnicity. But his lawyer disagreed.

Civil rights attorney Stephen Yagman announced separately that he plans to file a lawsuit charging that the American-born Tabatabainejad was singled out because of his Middle Eastern appearance.

UCLA's interim chancellor, Norman Abrams, cautioned the public against jumping to conclusions before a university investigation is completed.

"It would be best if everyone, within and without the university, would withhold judgment pending review of the matter," Abrams said in a written statement.

Student Combiz Abdolrahimi, chairman of UCLA's chapter of the National Iranian American Council, said he is unsatisfied with the university's conduct of the investigation so far. He said the incident would likely have been ignored if it had not been taped and made public.

"There were incidents before and you read about them in the paper, but it doesn't register until you actually see the reaction, hear the screams," he said.

It was the third incident in a month in which police behavior in the city was criticized after amateur video surfaced. The other two involved the Los Angeles Police Department.

agha torokhoda be in emailayy ke snow dad mail bezanid

[zubin]

it just shows how aghab oftade US security policies are. the brains of the policemen of the so called most advanced country in the world actually could not come up with any other way to treat an already tased screaming individual but to keep tasing him and to yell "stand up" like a thousand times. anyone who saw this clealry saw something wrong without any possible justification.

I can't believe how stupid it is that some people actually try to justify it.

first of all your analysis has to be proportional to the amount of funds that go into the police department, to security and the technology they are privileged with. if you are a millionaire with a taser how different are you really from a poor man with a gun? second of all, tasers have a negative feature that can not be compared with guns in that they are manufactured to make you submit in a disturbing, confusing and creepy way. Even if it represents a departure from killing, it also represents the invention of a whole new psychotic dimension of making people submit their will.
