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.

I have following Iranian news for years and I can confidently say that this is the closest the people of Iran have been to overturning the regime.
I will keep you posted.

If nothing else, this builds the confidence and spirit of the reformists, who will be able to do more and better in the future. A pity that it is so underreported, however, as it is still very significant.

Let us pray that freedom is at hand for the Iranian people, and justice is at hand for the Islamists.

Thanks for the news, its too bad this is getting no coverage from the news channels, I remember when the counties of Eastern Europe freed themselves of Communism, at least the media covered it pretty well then, this is pathetic.

Please keep us posted.
Fox News Cable reporting that the creepy vigilantes who support the repressive mullahs broke into student dormatories last night-crashing in the glass and beating students as they slept. Some twenty four students are missing.
I pray this sweeps the country-that a full and complete revolution occurs, that the clerics and mullahs are completely over taken and that democracy takes root. The people there live with broken hearts-I suspect what is happening is catching on like wild fire.

"I can confidently say that this is the closest the people of Iran have been to overturning the regime."
I hope they succeed. Since the protests are still continuing despite attempts to squash them is a good sign.

Spending too much time covering the Peterson case or as I just read in Geraldo's case -- kissing up to a Palestinian in an interview!
I hate weekend cable news channels at night!
