Posted on 06/14/2003 8:15:25 PM PDT by DoctorZIn

Hundreds of thousands are in the streets of the capital despite the very late time and protests along with sporadic clashes are happenening in several areas of Tehran.

Demos and clashes are rocking the south, north, east, west and especially the center of the Capital. From Nazi Abad and Majidie to Shahrak Gharb and Guisha and from Dolat and Shariati to Rey, hundreds of gatherings and thousands and thousands of protesters are showing their rejection of the regime.

At several occasion, brutal plainclothes men were captured by the demonstrators and were attached to trees.

Several patrols and plainclothes men's bikes have been destroyed as were caught filming the demonstrators. the regime's agents were saved from lynchage with the intervention of some of the protesters.

Tear Gas is used in different areas and chase and run is taking place.

The regime has placed its vital buildings, such as Governments and radio and TV under huge surveillance to avoid a popular take over.

The night will be very long.

The quote, "the revolution will not be televised", fits prefectly to this situation.

Can FOX at least show 1/10th the Laci Coverage to the revolution that is formenting in Iran?

Do you think that they could actually give it 2.4 hours a day of coverage? That seems extreme! /sarcasm

Well, let's hope that by then the government will be toppled.

It reminds me of the protests in Romania, which just grew and grew, taking Ceausescu totally by surprise, which of course resulted in the toppling the communist regime and Ceausescu's demise.

I hope for a similar end to the Iran protests.

"pre-trial motions!"

That is so true! I cannot believe how Greta gets stuck on a subject and that is the only thing she talks about night after night!

...Do you know of any sources in Iran that are uploading video of the events?...

The LA based Iranian broadcast stations that are beaming into Iran have video... I some some from Al Jezerra (I didn't think they would want to cover it). The Us media can get it if they want it.

I saw video of the dorms that Hezbollah attacked... it was savage and bloody... but there was plenty the US media could air.

Somebody in Tehran must have a digital cam that they can link up to the internet somehow.

Oh yes, please, it's as if they're invisible. The world needs to see them.
