Addendum CNN World is reporting that Rafasnjani has called for release of Prisoners.
New reports (unconfirmed) protestors hold both of Tehran's Airports.
There reports that huge crowds amassing in Iran, marching towards the State Run Television Station and Evin Prison. It has now been confirmed that Mehdi Karroubi was attacked by regime forces as he was trying to get to prayers today, and there is an unconfirmed report circulating in the country of Mousavi’s impending arrest. Reports that the Interior Ministry is surrounded and a general strike are rampant.
Unlike previous protests, there is no coverage of these events on U.S. News outlets or Arab Stations (perhaps they are waiting for confirmation that power has indeed changed hands) – News is starting to come in via the British Press and NPR has some coverage maintaining that these are renewed protests – That said, there are over 60 videos of the "protests" available now on outlets such as Facebook and YouTube – the most recent: protestors at the University of Tehran is shown below. For updates on what is occurring in real time: Twitter is an excellent source. There is a constant stream of videos of the revolution being uploaded here on YouTube
Today, the people of Iran are standing up for Freedom – Free Iran!
