If you've watched the news you will be aware of the current tensions in Iran. If you don't know, its very easy to follow.

There was a disputed election, and a lot of Iranian's do not want this President in power - so they are protesting, saying the vote was rigged which it may have been. Police have been roaming the streets now and have been given the right to use live ammunition on the protestors - today one man was killed, many injured.

But the people are still fighting to get democracy in their country.

TWITTER is being used by Iranians at the moment, people saying that their is still shootings and noise in the capital, Tehran. Its really terrible to see people talking on Twitter, saying that they are having to move locations because the Police is looking for them. SMS Texts have been blocked, an Arabic News channel and the BBC website has been blocked to all Iranians - the government don't want people to know the situation.

What do you think?

I know this is not the right sort of forum to bring up all these matters but I think it is important. I'm 16 but I watch the news and seeing people on Twitter fleeing the police in Iran is just amazing - to think these Iranians are fleeing their homes because the police is after them JUST for wanting a free, fair country.

Twitter is really interesting to keep an eye on to find out what is happening and I personally hope these rallies continue until the President is taken out of power.

..sorry for the large amount of writing!

Was an election vote by the public, or did other people, other than citizens do it?

England could be like that if BNP got into power and stayed in power for years..
But the Irainians did vote for him, more of the poor people is where his huge support comes from.
Another dark 4 years for Persians.

This is a Strict Muslim Nation
Not Democracy.

Also look at China

And yet we all buy China made products.

The rebellion will fizzle out or be stamped out rightly or wrongly......

States run by the principles of religous law can never have true freedom.......Religous loonies will do anything to keep control and indeed spread control acrosss the world......

Obama is a complete mug if he thinks a negotiated settlement is possible with iran and the nuclear issue....
