newsThe chanting goes on through the night as the people fight for justice.
The police are raiding dorms and attacking students too. Iran said Wednesday it is investigating reports of violence at a Tehran University dormitory in the wake of rallies sparked by last week's disputed election. Tehran University students told a CNN iReporter that government forces staged a massive crackdown early Monday at the university's dorm. Some students were detained in the raid. Students jumped out of windows to escape the Iranian police forces who threw tear gas and beat students, according to the iReporter, a former Tehran University student who now lives outside Iran. He did not want to be identified for security reasons. (Student shootings) (Full Article)
The police violence against the demonstrators is appalling. Thousands of defiant protesters swept again Saturday into the streets of the Iranian capital, where they clashed with police armed with batons, tear gas and water cannons.
A stream of videos posted on social networking Web sites depicted scenes of chaos -- the sound of gunshots and helicopters whirring overhead and graphic images of wounded men and women being carried away.
Unconfirmed reports put the death toll as high as 150 on the seventh day of post-election protests. Sources at one Tehran hospital confirmed 19 deaths Saturday.
Even women are fighting for their freedom!Like I said before, they have banned international reporters from covering demonstrations, which makes it very hard to get news. Some very brave and anonymous reporters from CNN have been uploading pictures and videos to iReport ; there is a lot of very moving photos and videos, and plenty of articles available on that site and many others for anyone who wants information. Please check it out so you can be aware of what is going on over there and maybe it will make you want to help.
