Like many of you, I intensely watched the Iranian protests in June, and cheered on the demonstrators, was shocked to see the photos of Neda and the others who were killed, and hoped-apparently in vain-that we were witnessing the last days of the Khamenei government and its oppression of the Iranian people. And, I watched as the government crushed the intail protests, and with them, seemingly, the hope that true Democracy would prevail in Iran. But, I've been checking news from Iran lately, and I thought it was time to try to raise a little awareness. There have been ongoing protests, the last major one occurring a little over two weeks ago (Nov. 4th). More below the fold.
