Tehran Today

Once again the people of Iran have taken to the streets in peaceful protest for their democratic rights. There are reports of people walking quietly all over the city, as well as in outlying cities such as Shiraz. Some reports of gunfire, but it’s not entirely clear what is going on. Best wishes to them.

Where is my vote?

Fierce Planet Posted on July 3, 2009 by jnfrSeptember 22, 2022

Though the brutal crackdown in Iran has stopped the large demonstrations and slowed the flow of information from the country, the people have not stopped demanding their rights.

It continues

In the clips I’ve seen of the protests today, the marchers seem much more determined, fearless, with a controlled fury in their voices. In some they toss tear gas canisters back at the police. In all of them, they refuse to slow or stop, pressing forward relentlessly. In this clip, they first are shouting “Don’t be scared. Don’t be scared. We are all together.”. And then, clearly, “Death to the Dictator.”

Things get worse

Fierce Planet Posted on June 20, 2009 by jnfrSeptember 22, 2022

Today the peaceful protests were met with crushing violence. Follow along via the New York Times and/or Andrew Sullivan. CNN’s on-air coverage has been much better this weekend too. WARNING! Very graphic images of violence and death.

And again….

Fierce Planet Posted on June 18, 2009 by jnfrSeptember 22, 2022

I can’t tell you how it moves me to see this river of people marching for their rights. In the videos I see, they are marching in almost complete silence. Today they march again, a march of mourning for those who have been killed.
