From the Iran students' site...
The prospects of the August 5th celebration and its deep message of "Secularity" forced the regime to limit the International Inbound-Outbound calls for several hours in order to undermine a hypothetical conspiracy of "foreign agents".Toldja they'd say that's who dunnit... According to the latest reports, at least 3 demonstrators have been killed in Tehran alone while tens of others have been seriously injured and some of them are in critical conditions. Hundreds of others have been arrested and their families are looking for them from a detention center to another. That was the feel we got from the SMCCDI coverage... Astonishingly, none of the foreign news agencies, present in Iran, bothered to make any kind of comment about the big scale and unprecedented event that rocked Iran. Their reporters look like to fear of getting expelled or consider their governmentsâ interests. That is significant, especially since I've still seen nothing, a couple days after the fact...
