Two worlds



So, here I am, finally at home, on my summer time of relaxation and fun... It's good to see my family and friends (those - very soon!), it's good to see familiar places. Yet, my thoughts run away to Iran and people protesting against tyranny. People being beaten up, attacked by police, murdered. Those who gave their lives, and those who are not afraid to risk them to fight for freedom.
After brutal acts of violence by Iranian security forces during the protest march yesterday, today people were scared to go out. But they finally did, marching in silence. Foreign media were banned to report any news from Iran, it is more difficult to find any pictures and videos. Those sent to facebook and twitter are nearly the only source of information. Iranian government turned off mobile connection and blocked many websites. My beloved cannot contact his family...

A couple of pictures from yesterday:

Student attacked by police at Sunday night in bursary at University of Shiraz.

On Monday not thousands, but millions of people went out to protest against fake results of elections.



Police used violence against civilians.
