Iranian Elections and Protests
Monday, June 15, 2009
It's unbelievable to follow what's happening in Iran between the images and video footage that have been coming out. I've been following it mostly here.
The shear numbers that have been out to protest have been incredible. Hopefully the violence stays to a minimum, but according to the information coming out of Iran, it only seems to escalating. Moussavi is said to make a speech 4PM Iranian time to address the opposition to Ahmadinejad. That will definitely be a speech to decide the direction of where the protests will turn.
Just take a look at the videos in that blog and you'll see bits of what's happening mostly in the capital and said similar protests in cities around the country.
This very well could be a turning point for Iran if there's enough show from the people to believe that the country does not believe the elections were valid. All I can hope is that the people of Iran get the freedom and privileges they deserve.
