Iran, Tuesday: Forbidden Journalism

Today, all international journalists were told that their journalist visas were out of date from noon. They were also suggested to leave the country ASAP. This will mean less photos and less ‘steady’ news from now on.

The internet and mobile networks are still down for many as well.

Twitter, though, have postponed some updates to their sites because they don’t want to disturb all the twittering about Iran. They say they think it is important to let the stream of meanings and information go undisturbed.

At least seven people were killed and shot yesterday, and several more were hurt. Despite this, Iran still chose keep on demonstrating today, and eye witnesses say that there were even more people in the streets today than the 1.5-2 million from yesterday. It is amazing how brave the Iranians are. I am impressed by their courage to still meet up in the streets. They’re an inspiration to all of us. Don’t you lose that courage!

For you who can take such things, here’s one of the shot men, filmed while dying. It’s a strong video so don’t watch it if you can’t take blood/death/etc.

Khamenei is on Ahmadinejad’s side, so why did he agree on checking on the election results? Most likely he did so only to keep the demonstrations away, but as we all see it didn’t help.

A little comic strip I found about the Ayatollah:

Good night everyone, and for Iran:

Don’t give up! I am sorry for the lives lost in this fight, but don’t let their sacrifice go to waste!
