International Meanwhile in Iran
Posted by Brendan Kiley on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 5:36 PM
The most violent protests in months, led by students, have spilled into their second day.
From the NYT:
As the scale of Monday’s demonstrations became clearer, Tehran’s police chief announced that 204 people had been arrested in the capital, the semiofficial Mehr news agency reported. The clashes took place on campuses in cities across the country, as students and opposition members took advantage of National Student Day to vent their rage despite a lengthy and wide-ranging government effort to forestall them.
