    The Fifth day of rallies in Tehran

     

    The rally was supposed to began on 5 PM. But huge crowd of more than 1 Million people, push them to the demonstration much sooner. The path was from “Hafte tir” square to “Enghelab Squre” which is about 10 Km. This was a silenced protest to avoid people being killed by the paramilitary groups like “Basij”. The rally ended saftly at 8:30 PM.

    In the past days, after this hour, the violence takes place and some people are get killed or seriously injured by the government forces. Unfortunately the protestors have no media: cell phones are out of service at the night, SMS (text) services are blocked for the last 6 days. Many Internet sites are filtered (including cnn.com), chat services are disabled, opposition news papers are censored in covering the protests as the foreign media (today 4 newspapers were not published in disagreement with the governments censorship), and the local TV is calling demonstrators as people paid by foreign countries!

    The next rally will be tomorrow at 4 PM from “Khoemeini” square. People are asked to wear black ribbons instead of the green ones (which are the mark for Moosavi supporters) to interpret their sympathy with family of the killed students in this week.
