More on the protest:

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) — About 5,000 protesters marched slowly and silently through Tehran on Sunday near a mosque where the government was allowing a demonstration for the first time in days.

And this from tweeters:

Authorities are riding on motorcycles alongside the marchers, who are telling each other to walk slowly and drag their feet. Police are telling the demonstrators to move faster.

The marchers are walking from north to south down a major street, Shariati Street, near the Ghoba Mosque, where a memorial is being held in honor of a hero of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Some of the protesters are telling the police that they have the legal right to protest in peace.

And:

Amnesty International said Sat that gov forces are preventing drs from getting names from wounded demonstrators or asking how they were hurt.

Iran intensified its crackdown over the weekend, reportedly seizing wounded protesters from their hospital beds of the youth

Meanwhile Iran is arresting westerners:

If McCain/Palin were in office right now regime change would have been a done deal.

As a Senator McCain has done more in the last weeks in support of Iranians, than Obama has as President.

Meanwhile Axelrod won't condemn the mullah regime on TV.

The US has joined the axis of evil I guess.

Don’t be too sure of it. The official ruling in the US is still that Islam is a religion of peace. The peaceful mullahs should therefore be given a chance to solve the problems in Iran.

You don’t think so? Just observe the accellerating proliferation of those ominous mosques in the US.

It’s significant that the mullah regime is blaming Britain for stirring up the demonstrators. That means that the authorities know very well that the U.S. under 0bama is neither a friend of democracy, nor an enemy of Islamofascism.

What does that have to do with the deaths of Farrah, MJ and Mays?

How important could it possibly be?

(do I need the \sarc?)

Too bad Americans didn’t have the balls to demonstrate like this...we’d get a country that resembled the USA...

[Oldpuppymax]

Strange. Amnesty International doesn’t seem interested in “FACTS” when the US is involved!
