Iranian Police Beat And Kill Women

From Atlas Shrugs:

11:52: LIVE FEED HERE: Iranians are reporting massacres, people being thrown off bridges. In one place they say there are 150 dead ................

Tweet: they pull away the dead into trucks - like factory - no human can do this - we beg Allah for save us

Nothing on FOX news. WTF is wrong with everyone?

11:22 am: Different tweets all describing unspeakable horror:

in Baharestan we saw militia with axe chopping ppl like meat - blood everywhere - like butcher

HOPE! CHANGE! What a stunning indictment of the Obama presidency. He will never outrun this. It's a slaughterhouse. I fear we will lose our best source of information --

rumour they are tracking high use of phone lines to find internet users - must move from here now

phone line was cut and we lost internet -getting more difficult to log into net

More::

saw 7/8 militia beating one woman with baton on ground - she had no defense nothing - sure that she is dead

they were waiting for us - they all have guns and riot uniforms - it was like a mouse trap - ppl being shot like animals

I see many ppl with broken arms/legs/heads - blood everywhere - pepper gas like war

just in from Baharestan Sq - situation today is terrible - they beat the ppls like animals

10:45: Persian Kiwi is back on twitter (exhale):

all shops was closed - nowhere to go - they follow ppls with helicopters - smoke and fire is everywhere

ppl run into alleys and militia standing there waiting - from 2 sides they attack ppl in middle of alleys

so many ppl arrested - young & old - they take ppl away -- we lose our group

Although most sources had confirmed that there was going to be a strike Tuesday in Tehran, the city had only partially closed down its shops. Throughout the day reports kept arriving that Mousavi had not ordered the strike, however, most people continued urging protesters to comply with the strike. It seemed that there was a complete lack of coordination between the movement and its leader. This is the first time it has happened, however, and seems to be a direct result of government’s tireless efforts at trying to jam communications between protesters and their leaders.

There were sporadic reports of a more successful strike in parts of the Kurdish-inhabited areas of northwestern Iran. In Kurdistan province, the cities of Sanadanj and Seqqez were reported to have had half their shops closed. There were also reports from Mahabad in Western Azerbaijan province to the north of Kurdistan province. That city is also inhabited by Kurds. The main stream media has not confirmed these reports; however, sources were pretty uniform about the veracity of them. There have been unrests in Mashhad and Tabriz as well, but no solid news came out for us to investigate further.

People in Tehran, though, acted in different ways to continue to defy the authorities. There were anti-government posters stuck on walls, anti-government slogans adorned parts of the walls of the city and waves of small rallies broke out in various parts of the city. Car headlights were turned on in the city at dark to commemorate those killed in the protests and chants of Allah o Akbar continued to ring loudly at night. Among these chants, there were also chants of “Death to the Dictator” and surprisingly enough, some people also chanted “Death of Khamenei” – although the last one was only reported in isolated areas.
