More Demonstrations In Iran

Huffington Post is live-blogging demonstrations which are presently taking place in Iran.

Former president Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a powerful cleric in Iran who supports reformist Mir Hossein Mousavi, delivered the Friday sermon in Tehran today for the first time since June's presidential election. The sermon was heavily attended; many thousands of people are now demonstrating in the city, and reports indicate that riot police are out in large numbers, using tear gas and batons.

Thanks to Lapin for the alert.

  2. Someone, I believe it may have been Arkansas Hillbilly, had a green block up instead of the green background color. I may try that. I couldn't take the green any longer.

    Yes, the Iranian people need our prayers.

  5. They do need our prayers. I never would have thought that Rafsanjani would get my admiration, but he has.
