Other Updates
Doctors, nurses and staff at one of the major hospitals in Tehran stopped working for several hours in protest to the regime's mass murder of people. ((Me thinks we're in middle of a revolution against the regime)) - On the other hand, I read today on twitter that doctors are ordered to write 'death during surgery' for those killed by the regime.
UK's Guardian has a great piece about the unrests in Iran
Canadian govt condemns the Iranian regime
Iranian soccer fans in S. Korea wave Free Iran flag during the Iran Vs S. Korea match yesterday
Updated @ 11:30 am et: More rallies have been called for the coming days. A student group in Tehran has confirmed that at least 7 more students were killed during Basijis' raids on Univ of Tehran's dorms in NW of Tehran.
Updated @ 3:15pm ET: The regime has shut down the few pro-reformist newspapers today. They have occupied their offices and prevented them from further printing.
***Iranian regime accuses the coward United States govt headed by Obamble of 'meddling in its affairs'. Duh! The regime accuses every one even when the cowards in the White House have made it clear that they'll not side with the pro-freedom people of Iran. So maybe Obambi can get over his cowardice and support the people openly now, eh?
***Look at these pictures of Iranian soccer fans in S. Korea
Updated: I am told security forces arrest every one who wears black clothing.
Updated at 7pm ET: My phone calls to Iran (to relatives & friends) were disrupted many many times whenever I asked my contacts about the ongoing riots. I think the phones are tapped.

Yes. I hope they take him down before he kills more
Confirmed, one protester has been killed in Yazd.
I'm amazed there hasn't been more bloodshed. I suspect there may be a message in that, which is that the regime knows how far it can go and knows if it goes any further, it puts itself at risk. I could be wrong, but that's the reading I'm getting from what I see happening.
Louise, regime is weighing its options. Regime knows if they kill more, the people will grow more agitated. Regime has little options in this game. Let's hope the regime goes away with little violence. This is what we always wanted, right? Peaceful disobedience and all that. Power to my brothers and sisters in Iran.
I have always known that bloodshed would be inevitable. But Louise is right, Islamic Republic knows its limits more than anyone else, after all its only and most valuable art is and has been violence for more than 30 years. But for this same reason we need to turn up the heat. Their surrender is not sufficient, this is about justice.
Sag jan, I agree 100%
The alternative is a disservice to humanity. To take one step back is to allow a stunted, stung and dictatorial theocratic regime to threaten the whole world.
Do you know if there are any solidarity demos scheduled anywhere here in the states?
No but I was told and asked that people protest in front of Russian embassies across the world
Yesterday there were protests in Los Angeles, Washington DC, Miami, San Francisco and many more. The best thing Americans or Iranian Americans can do is to email and phone their representatives and senators to condemn the violence
Northern California protest is scheduled for today June 17th, 2009 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Stanford University, Palm Drive, Stanford Oval, inside the green area after Palm Drive
List of planned demonstrations worldwide:

Hello,... I have an idea... i don't know how to put i through... coudl it be possible to establish some kind of "BODY COUNT"? I mean to record, to get from the people in iran who know about them, at least the initials of the killed, if they dont want to give the full name, something like "A.K., 23 years old, student, tehran students dormitory raid, 16.6.2009" or so, maybe to make a website or an e-mail where to send all this stuff.
@Azadi
I totally agree with you on that but there's now way for us out of Iran doing such a survey. I think those inside of Iran should do such a thing. I like the idea. We need to document the crimes of the regime and show it to the world.
Excellent work, Winston!
Great posts Winston. Let's keep tweeting
It's good that Lawrence Cannon has spoken out, but I think the PM should speak very clearly and emphatically as well. It should come from the head of state, not just from a minister.
You are doing great work here, Winston. Thank you for keeping us updated. I wouldn't doubt the phones being tapped. I hope your family and friends inside Iran stay safe. Keep us posted!
I hope I didnt endanger them though
I spoke to Tehran and the same happened, don't worry.
What's happening in the rural areas? Any reports?
Thanks for the links re demonstrations. I will never forget that the Iranians held candlelight vigils after 9/11 - I'd love to be able to give them the same support.
Urban Infidel, we don't hear much about rural areas because there's no reporting from there. But they are also easier to handle for the regime. The regime can control the small cities easier. But I am sure all of Iran s on fire
Andrew Sullivan and Nico from Huffington Post are getting excellent information. Also been to a few other sites such as Michael Leedon where there is constant information becoming available.
The alleged support for A Mad Dinner jacket in the rural areas might not have been that strong according to one report that I saw relating to a mountain village - the villagers were shocked over the results, just like everywhere else.
I am wearing as much green as I can today in solidarity with ordinary Iranians.
