When we arrived, we were body searched and were beaten again at the court yard of the precinct. First they put us in a cage and insulted us in obscene language. Police officers in the precinct were not in charge. Plain clothes forces were beating us with baton through the bars and were laughing at us. The cage was small and we could not move. Then we were taken to another part of the precinct and from there they took us to the basement. We had to keep our heads low during the movements while they were beating us at the back of our heads. Once in the basement, our Ids were taken.”

Clerical Leaders Defy Ayatollah on Iran Election
“This crack in the clerical establishment, and the fact they are siding with the people and Moussavi, in my view is the most historic crack in the 30 years of the Islamic republic,” said Abbas Milani, director of the Iranian Studies Program at Stanford University. “Remember, they are going against an election verified and sanctified by Khamenei.”

CONFIRMED VIDEO: Iranian MP Alikhani Vocally Calling the Election ‘Rigged’ in Parliament
This video has been called a fake multiple times – yet it is not. Everyone points to the date at the bottom and says it’s 21 years old. The date underneath is NOT March 03, 1988. It’s 26 Khordad 1388, which coincides with Tuesday, June 16, 2009 when protesters were out on the streets demanding a reelection. The SAT with the date isn’t for Saturday. For further authenticity, check out the speaker. It’s Ali Larijani. He’s only been speaker of the Majlis since May 2008. The MP in question is Hajsheikh Alikhani. The video speaks for itself. Read the subtitles for what’s in it. I only certify its authenticity. This is further proof of the political divide and of the election illegitimacy.

Summary of Iran reports on Twitter for June 25
What we were able to confirm was that a large mass of people that tried to gather at martyred protester Neda’s grave site was beaten and dispersed. No one was allowed to stand near her grave for more than a few seconds as police actively sought to beat the protesters out of the area. There were reports of Basijis firing at people from atop a mosque in Tehran. It can be partially confirmed, however, the number of casualties cannot be.
BREAKING NEWS! Iran’s supreme leader orders investigation into ballot fraud allegations
Iran’s supreme leader has ordered an investigation into the country’s disputed presidential election and asked opposition leader Mir Hossein Moussavi to pursue his allegation of ballot fraud through legal means.
The country’s government-funded Press TV reported Monday that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had requested the moves.
The news came on the same day as Iran braced for a third day of protests as demonstrators, defying a government ban on their rallies, began to gather at Tehran University.
“They are chanting slogans: ‘Death to the dictator,’” said a witness who CNN will not identify for safety reasons. “We are here. We will not leave the scene until our presence is known.”
