Okay, not such a silent protest.

Here's the first video of the protest at the mosque.

5,000?
Iran has over 70 million people, that's like a drop in the ocean.
So it's true that the protests are getting smaller and smaller?
 
Unconfirmed.......

Reports of riot police breaking up the protest. Beating of an old woman

Unconfirmed report of hundred thousands marching. This protest was "allowed" by the Supreme Ruler. I think he thought he'd catch a bunch of protesters in the "act". So I believe, many stayed home.

Confusing reports coming out now......
 
EDITOR'S NOTE: Iranian authorities have barred journalists for international news organizations from reporting on the streets and ordered them to stay in their offices. This report is based on the accounts of witnesses reached in Iran and official statements carried on Iranian media.

Riot police clashed with up to 3,000 protesters near a mosque in north Tehran on Sunday, using tear gas and truncheons to break up Iran's first post-election demonstration in five days, witnesses said.

Witnesses told The Associated Press that some protesters fought back, chanting: "Where is my vote?" They said others described scenes of brutality — including the alleged police beating of an elderly woman — in the clashes around the Ghoba Mosque.

The reports could not immediately be independently verified because of tight restrictions imposed on journalists in Iran.

Are all of you getting, "An error has occured, please try again later?" I am seeing more and more of these when I try to see these videos.

Why are we being blocked? I don't understand technical problems but why isn't the US unblocking these things? I thought we had the most up to date technology on the earth?

Am I missing something?
