AFP has realeased an "after action report" of sorts, even though in is short om details. One thing that is noticable is how the mainstream wire reports are far less "dramatic" than the ones from zagros or SMCCDI:

"Thousands in Tehran for sixth night of anti-regime protests

Monday, June 16, 2003 - ©2003 IranMania.com



TEHRAN, June 16 (AFP) - Thousands of people demonstrated near Tehran university's main campus Sunday in a sixth straight night of anti-regime protests, AFP reporters on the scene and witnesses reported.
The protesters again converged on the Amir Abad campus in cars, as they have been doing since a gathering of a few hundred students on Tuesday night quickly swelled into a protest by several thousand people.

Gunshots of indeterminate origin sounded in the vicinity, according to unconfirmed reports.

Protestors have jammed the streets of Tehran's capital in cars every night since then.

Police and armed vigilantes were again out in force, as a tough crackdown by Iranian authorities have dampened the protests."
