Each day that the protests go on in Tehran brings more violence. The media has to rely on the voices cloaked by Twitter and Facebook, hoping that their words are telling the full story.
New light brings new ideas to those who live in the bloody streets of Tehran. The fear remains as basijis use heavy hands to silence the crowds. They have failed, the crowds are larger and their voice is stronger. The young will not be put down like animals. They have a desire for freedom that will not be stopped by billy clubs and tear gas.
Today the aftermath of a bloody Saturday begins anew just as it did the day before it. Many people were silenced forever on the streets in Tehran. Most will not be remembered by name to the rest of the world. The killing of a young girl though has resounded a battle cry though that sickened the world. Young she died in less than two minutes after a bullet ripped through her chest.
As vengeance today the protesters are ruining the properties of the Basijis.
People on the streets of Tehran fear that a civil war may be on the way. The government is acting harsher as the days go on.
Students are not wanting the violence. They are well organized but they are students without the means to do little more than raise their voices.
The government is hunting down the students who have voiced their concerns to the rest of the world.
University exams have been postponed at Azad University after about 200 protesting students refused to take them.
