Voices of Iran: We are not afraid ...pray for us

Despite the regime's best efforts in Iran, to keep the world from seeing what is happening in Iraq, some brave souls ARE getting word out. Go here for a few pictures, (the BBC, ) and then read some first-hand accounts:

I was part of the protest in Valiasr Square....There were lots of female protestors - I saw a guard attack one women and then she went back up to him and grabbed him by the collar and said 'why are you doing this? Are you not an Iranian?' - he was totally disarmed and didn't know what to do but her actions stopped him....

***

Today is a different day. I and my friends may never return home. We want the world to at least picture our being killed on streets to help democracy in iran and save the world. Pray for us....

***

In Sattar Khan I saw with my own eyes two ordinary 40-year-old women being beaten severely with electric batons, for nothing but raising their voice in protest....

***

We will continue to protest and we have several reasons to do so. First because we demand our rights. Second because were not afraid. Third - we will not be fooled. And fourth - in this way, the true face of this regime will be revealed to the whole world....


Go read more here. And pray for the courageous people of Iran.
