The [Iranian] Revolution Will Be Twittered!
Posted by calpolysjpme on June 15, 2009
As the Iranian regime shuts down other forms of communication, Twitter survived. With some remarkable results, including by reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi who is under house arrest according to one of his tweets . Answering his call to his latest tweet, Mousavi’s followers are on rooftops shouting ALAHO AKBAR (God is great) as can be seen in this youtube clip below.
The dailybeast.com reports that Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators formed a five-mile-long crowd today in central Iran as they defied a ban on protests and supported reformist leader Mir Hossein Mousavi. An Associated Press photographer saw one person shot and killed, and several others wounded outside a compound for volunteer militia.

Iran’s supreme leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, has directed Iran’s Guardian Council to investigate claims of election fraud. The Guardian Council must certify election results and has the right to nullify elections, though it has never used that power.
