'The report cited several incidents, saying University of Tehran students had reportedly been chased by 100 riot police.'

ha! they should check out any of our political conventions to see how to do it... where are the tasers, the tear gas, the rubber bullets, the thousands of people being rounded up?
i guess if you dont have 'freespeech' you don't need our wonderfull 'free speech zones'

Where was Amnesty International when doctors who advocate single-payer health care system were arrested for showing up at Congress?

They must be taking clues from the G-20 protest.

(sarcasm on) Shocking, I say! Absolutely shocking! (sarcasm off)

If one were to witness the assaults on supposedly 'free' people in the west, and comically the U.S., this picture should garner bitter chuckles. Where does it say in the U.S. Constitution that 'speech' is to be limited to fenced cages? Hmmm? I believe the document that the power elite claim to uphold outlines THEIR limitations and not the peoples. Everything in this country is turned upside down and our out of touch 'leaders' have the temerity to wag their poisoned tongues at the rest of the world and ask them to behave.

More pro western shite propoganda!

Let me guess...the pro-western candidate didnt win, therefor the election MUST have been rigged! Just because the candidate we thought would cowtoe to our western demands didnt win...doesnt mean the election was stolen!

What a great pretext for invading or bombing yet another country...all in the name of 'freedom' and 'demon-ocracy' I.E. capitalism!

We must save the poor people of Iran like we are saving the people of Iraq and Afghanistan! What a load of crud!

We must stop trying to dictate everything, to every other country in the world... otherwise some day we might be the ones getting bombed...all in the name of saving us from our cruel and corrupt leaders of course...all in the name of freedom!

In the west, we arent 'free' either...we are only free to consume...and then consume more! And more still!

Our governments are just as 'evil' as the rest.

Did anyone notice that the policeman is identified as such in English. That's curious, isn't it?
