Protests Over the Presidential Election in Iran



YAH's resident Persian has sent the following links for our consideration:

25khordad at Wordpress
Rayeman kojast? at Wordpress
tehranlive.org
Daneshgah Sanati Esfehan at blogspot

My limited Farsi knowledge tells me that these are all pretty much from university areas. Note that these are pictures and videos from Iranian bloggers and activists from the past couple of days in the wake of the re-election of Ahmadinejad, who is believed to have stolen the election from the reform candidate Mousavi due to the unprecedented number of young voters (think the past US presidential election except Obama loses by a landslide). It's pretty intense.

About

This blog serves as a transparent point of discourse for You Are Here--a Columbus collective that grew out of the Comparative Studies Undergraduate Group at the Ohio State University. It consists of people from all academic and social backgrounds with an emphasis on social theory. Most succinctly put, it is creative scholarship in affect--whether it be from academia, popular culture, art, language, or personal observation. The ideas expressed in this blog are by no means reached by consensus and do not necessarily reflect those of other members. The comments doubly so. Feel free to critique, question, or agree with any views expressed. You don't have to reside in or be familiar with the city of Columbus. As far as we're concerned, you are here.
