9th of July protests in Tehran
Friday, July 10, 2009 13:33Huffington Post has a very good report with videos and comments about the protests that has been going on yesterday (9th of July) in Tehran.
Zeitoon has also written a nice report (in Persian with photos) about the protests in Tehran yesterday, 9th of July.
The report is titled: We were not afraid as we were together,
Around 4 we started moving towards Vali Asr square, sidewalks were full of people with masks on the faces carrying bottles of water. From time to time you could hear jokes about Ahmadinejad’s “Free Election” quote on TV a few nights ago or about the fly that attacked him during his speech.
The presence of Police increased as we were closing to Vali Asr sq. In the square Police were attacking people with batons to scatter them and avoid a big group of people getting together.
I saw an old lady (around 90) with her grandchildren walking. When we told her to take care not to be hit with batons she answered dying is better than such life.
