The unnamed woman described it as a “massacre” in Baharestan Square.

The unnamed woman described it as a “massacre” in Baharestan Square.

An Iranian woman has given harrowing details of what she says was a massacre of protesters in Tehran’s Baharestan Square on Wednesday.

Reports this morning suggest thousands of police and pro-government militia used guns, clubs and teargas to suppress a large opposition rally in the square.

Speaking to CNN, the unnamed woman said it was a “massacre”.

“I was going to Baharestan with my friends ... to express our opposition to these killings and demanding freedom,” she said.

“But the black-clad police stopped everyone ... they emptied the buses that were taking people there and let the private cars go on.

“We went on ... and then all of a sudden some 500 people with clubs ... came out of [a nearby mosque], and they poured into the streets and they started beating everyone.”

The woman said the attackers started beating people on a pedestrian bridge heading to the square, with some people being thrown over the side.

“They beat a woman so savagely that she was drenched in blood, and her husband who was watching the scene, he just fainted.

“I also saw [the security forces] shooting young people.

“This was a massacre. They were trying to beat people so that they would die. They were cursing... they were beating old men.

“This was exactly a massacre. You should stop this. You should help the people of Iran who demand freedom.

“There were thousands of people on the street.

“I heard the shooting and we just ran away. I didn’t see what happened but I’m sure people are dead there.”

CNN said another source inside Tehran had described people being “shot like animals”.

The witness went on: “In the previous days they are killing students with axes, they put the axe through the heart of young men, and it’s so devastating I don’t know how to describe it.

“This is horrific, this is genocide, this is a massacre, this is Hitler. And you people should stop it. It’s time to act.”

Well Obama has figured out that 3 in the morning phone call business. He’s simply not going to pick up.

This sounds like the info in the thread from this morning, but there was absolutely no coverage in the media.

Is it really getting some traction now?

I heard they also cut off heads. These people are less than human. I hope God swallows them all up and they go to hell for eternity. No virgins there!

This is the change that liberals and black racists voted for.

North Korea threatening us, that too is the change that they voted for.

Unemployment at almost ten percent, they voted for that change too.

I’ll stop, the Kenyan is a traitor to our constitution, get used to many more bad things now that American power is under the control of a corrupt, black, Illinois politician who happens to be an uncompromising lying radical left wing politician. I say black, because it seems that 95% of them stick together based only on race. Totally sickening.
