Security forces wielding clubs and firing weapons beat back protesters who flocked to a Tehran square, sources say.
Iranian Tweeters are reporting that protestors are being chopped with axes and then thrown over bridges. A tearful caller to CNN World begs for the U.S. to intervene as she describes the terror in the streets:
From Tweeter.com
"RT news fm iran: in Baharestan we saw militia with axe choping ppl like meat blood everywhere - like butcher Allah Akbar"
"WOMAN FRM IRAN IS ON PHONE WITH CNN AND WHAT SHE IS SAYING IS SHOCKING "THEIR THROWING PPL OVER THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE"
"RT from Iran The Baharestan massacre will not be forgotten or forgiven. Long live Iran."
"URGENT: Police are checking cellphones for videos and pictures, transfer yr files and clean up your phone"
"NOW reports of street fighting in Vanak Sq, Tajrish sq, Azadi Sq"
It is this type of brutality, that will not have the intended effect, the more the current regime beats down the protestors, the more dedicated they appear to become. They are, afterall, seeking freedoms that those in the United States take for granted.
