Catching up
Twitter being under attack all day severely limited information getting out of Iran on Thursday. Here's what I've found:
Reuters reports that:
The renewed protests come despite a heavy police presence and the mass trial of some 100 leading reformers accused of fomenting the unrest that has continued for eight weeks since disputed June 12 polls returned hard-liner Ahmadinejad to office. "Hundreds of people are in Vanak square, chanting 'death to the dictator'. Others are also honking car horns," said the witness. "Hundreds of riot police are there as well." The witness said riot police tried to disperse protesters. "They are telling protesters to leave the area or face being arrested," the witness said. Some video up next.
