Iran Uprising: Tehran Demonstrations:

It seems from major media reports that demonstrations and protests are still going strong in Tehran, after the highly-contested Iranian elections last week and despite government crackdowns.

Iran's Reformist leader and Presidential-hopeful to many in Tehran and throughout the country, Moussavi, urged his followers to wear black to show unity and mourning for those who have been beaten, shot and killed during more violent protest-backlash earlier this week. Many supporters in Iran, and around the world, are following his call, and donning black garb in addition to the green worn as a show of solidarity with Moussavi.

Interestingly, though the Iranian soccer team has made no formal endorsement, they were seen wearing green armbands in a recently-publicized photo.

While the Supreme Leaders of Iran insist there will be some re-counts and other measures taken to ensure this election will result in a fair and final outcome, it seems more than likely Iran's currently-seated leader, Ahmadinejad, will remain in power.

Ahmadinejad supporters claim there has been no "rigging" or unfair practise in regards to this election, as is alleged by many Moussavi supporters. While both sides clash in the streets, it is through the grainy cell-phone images and videos, as well as Facebook updates and Twitter "tweets" of every-day citizens in Tehran that the world learns of events taking place.

These images are being virtually smuggled into the world view, out from behind the shield of Iranian government, which has banned most media coverage and essentially quarentined international journalists to their hotel rooms. The possible sentence for those caught transmitting images of demonstrations or of government backlash? Death.

Stay tuned.
