If Reuters can be believed, the other demonstrators should be madder than hell.What were they thinking? They had to know they'd be at least arrested just identifying themselves? (I can imagine much worse is happening to them)
Was this a plan to get people "riled up"?

[AFPhys]

Prayers for all those protesting and supporting those fighting for freedom in Iran.

Three student activists have been seized in Tehran.

May God protect the 3 students and anymore arrested like them.

"Witnesses said police and military units were posted outside the Tehran U.N. headquarters on Wednesday and photographers and camera crews were prevented from taking pictures of the scene." (also from Reuters)

Sounds open and democratic to me.

Btw...Are you at NITV today?

[DoctorZIn]

I am hearing that Fox News is reporting on Iran.
Anyone have any specifics?

[DoctorZIn]

...Btw...Are you at NITV today? ...

My wife is up there helping man the phones, I will be there in a few hours.

[TexanToTheCore]

Prayers are being said for the Persian people and their fight for freedom. Special prayers are being said for those who stand against this evil and have been seized. May God bless them and their families.

So say the people.

[DoctorZIn]

This just in...

It is getting dark in Iran (midnight) and the number of people going into the streets of Iran continues to grow. We are hearing these report from all over Iran.

Doctor Zin

[DoctorZIn]

They appreciate our prayers and concern for them.

[hoosiermama]

Amen

[SpookBrat]

Thanks for the links. Emails were just sent. I appreciate you posting this.

[blam]

"My wife is up there helping man the phones, I will be there in a few hours."

Bravo. Let freedom ring!

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Darkness gives some additional protection, I hope. Praying for their strength and safety.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

You're welcome.

I am trying to dig up more email addresses... it is difficult, because many are hidden, and difficult to locate on the news websites.

Ping anyone you can.

Even if people are only concerned with media censorship, that is one way that they can get involved. Do you understand what I mean?

Best wishes.

Someone earlier said they heard something on FOX, but it sounded like part of a segment, brief.

[harpseal]

Hopefully the police and or the Army will decide they have had enough of the mullahs. This could either bring freedom to Iran of great repression the issue is still in doubt. I am rooting for the students.
