Iran is not a democracy since there is a supreme leader who is not elected and who actually control the place.

The “president!!!” is just a pupet who have to do follow the order of the “supreme!!!” leader.

Hossein Mousavi Khameneh or the other piece of crap does not change anything.

Iran almost had a democracy who was destroy by the US governement bu never did.

Even they rigged these BS election since the supreme leader like better the incumbant.

“More than half of Iran’s population is aged under 25 and the BBC’s Gavin Hewitt said this younger, internet-savvy generation was rocking the centre of power.”

He said the hundreds of images captured on their mobile phones were telling the story of this crisis.

“The protesters are sending blogs and using messaging services like twitter – it’s a virtual game of cat and mouse,” he said.

“As the state tries to control access to the internet portals so the protesters are sending messages to each other on how to evade the government portals.”

To help, people with Twitter accounts are encouraged to change their time zone and location to Tehran to give people there cover, as Iranian security forces are hunting protesters via Twitter.

It’s a simple thing those with Twitter can do to help out injustice in the world, and it doesn’t even cost you anything!

Iranian people want change, their government is choosing to stifle that change. Let this be the simple step forward to helping your fellow human and also be a step for yourself in standing up for rights and freedoms.

Who knows, maybe with a little luck you’ll be motivated to write to your MP/Senator or several MP’s/Senators, and make your voice heard. It’s far better than having sympathy or bitching about it.
