Islamic bigots running Iran are killing the people again
This BBC graphic points to where the conflict is taking place in Tehran.Fierce clashes have erupted between Iranian security forces and opposition demonstrators trying to gather in the centre of the capital, Tehran.
Unconfirmed reports say at least one person has been shot dead.
Iranian opposition parties had called on people to take to the streets as the Shia Muslim festival of Ashura reached a climax.
People were chanting "Khamenei will be toppled", opposition sources said, a reference to Iran's Supreme Leader.
Initial reports said the security forces fired in the air as they moved to disperse demonstrators, but there are several different reports all saying that at least one, and possibly as many as four demonstrators, have been shot dead.
Foreign media are banned from reporting directly on opposition demonstrations and the reported deaths could not be independently verified.

On the ground, the security forces clashed with protesters trying to reach central Enghelab Square, witnesses said.

Opposition sources say protesters are regrouping and more people are arriving in central Tehran.
Protests were also reported in the cities of Isfahan and Najafabad.

The Islamic religious bigots running Iran do not tolerate dissent well. They do not seem to know how to deal with it and they act fearful of it. I think this intolerance feeds into the oppositions position that they are an oppressive regime that needs to be changed.
CNN has more on the back and forth nature of the current demonstrations as well as this picture of burning police motorcycles.
