Iran Voter Conflict Deteriorates

June 16. 2009

"Video: Obama: Iranian Voters Should Be Heard" - The Associated Press

 

Eight people were killed in protests, sparked by the allegation, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, stole the election. It really does appear something questionable transpired (trust me, I live in Florida, I know the signs).

Iranians became enraged, feeling disenfranchised and disregarded. Many have been turning to online outlets to express their heartbreak, stating their votes were not counted.

My condolences to the families of the individuals that died. It does not matter which country you live in, you deserve to be heard and your vote counted.

Seven killed at Tehran rally, more protests planned

Tue Jun 16, 2009 3:20am EDT - TEHRAN (Reuters) - Seven people were killed near a rally held by supporters of defeated presidential candidate Mirhossein Mousavi, state television said on Tuesday, as they prepared for more protests against a poll they say was rigged.

Backers of hardline Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said they planned a demonstration on Tuesday at the same location as Mousavi supporters, raising the possibility of further clashes between the rival camps.
