According to Austin Heap, founder of the Haystack Project, an organization dedicated to supplying uncensored internet access to the people of Iran, one of the primary weapons in accessing proxy servers in Iran is no longer working. Heap has speculated that the government may have beaten many of the technologies that protesters have used to get around government eyes, and this is one more sign that amateur programmers can no longer outhack the government in Iran.
There are many reports coming in of violence and tear gas in Sadeghieh Square, where Karroubi, a major reform leader, was expected to speak.
Also, there is an unconfirmed report that a statue in Ferdowsi Square has been covered in green cloth by protesters.

Unconfirmed reports of violence in Aryashahr, and there are conflicting reports of violence in Sadeghie, though Mehdi Saharkhiz has said that nothing is on fire there as earlier sources had reported.
Karroubi is one of the good guys. He’s a reformist, democratic activist.
I heard that some foreign media still have their passes but were only going to be allowed to report what Ahmadinejad wants reported. You can bet they are under surveillance at all times.
Thanks....I cant believe this has not gotten more play in the media...I told my mom yesterday...she had no clue what I was talking about. I sent her a link....What the heck are news reporters doing....besides reporting on Sarah P’s hand writing?

Pooladissimo RT @onlymehdi: Sadeghieh: Special Forces now attacking people #iranelection #22bahman (via @J1T2)
I find the lack of reporting from our media appalling but less than surprising. While America sleeps....is gonna get us killed.
