« The Revolution Will Be Twittered. | Main | Did Ahmadinejad win the Iranian election fair and square? »

This video from the BBC is just incredible.

And the BBC satellite feed is being jammed by the Iranian government, too...

And then there's this from Andrew Sullivan:

The news on attack on Tehran University's students seems accurate. The students were reportedly protesting on the streets near their dorm, when some and special forces plain-clothes militia attacked them, injuring and arresting some.

The students started their protest at 9:15 shouting slogans such as "we don't want a coup leader" and "down with the dictator" and "Seyyed-Ali (Khamenei's first name) Pinochet, Iran is not Chile."

When the students got attacked by the mob and the guard, they defended themselves by throwing rocks at them. The students are staying in TV rooms in the dorms due to fear of getting arrested in hospitals. More than 11 male students are injured some in bad condition. The militia and guard then attacked women's dorms injuring 11 female students. The internet in the dorms has been out since afternoon.

And then you have Flickr and Twitter helping us learn more about the situation.

We can only hold our breath that something positive finally comes from all of this bloodshed over there...
