In Iran, as reported by the Tehran Times:

A number of students from universities across Tehran held a demonstration outside the Swiss Embassy on Saturday to express their solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement. Iran and the United States do not have diplomatic relations, and the Swiss Embassy in Tehran hosts the U.S. Interests Section in Iran.

The demonstrators chanted slogans in support of the protesters and denounced the crackdown on the protests. The students also set the flags of the United States and the Zionist regime on fire and chanted “Down with the United States,” “Death to Israel,” “Down with Capitalism,” and other slogans.

A number of students also delivered speeches at the event, in which they said that true democracy could only be established under the banner of religion.

That's "students" as in "members of the Basij militia, a part of the Iran Revolutionary Guard":

Like the old cold war joke: the American says, "Here in the US we're free to demonstrate against our government". The Russian replies, "Yes, here in the Soviet Union we too are free to demonstrate against your government".
