Protesters Find Voice on Web

A protest picture of Esfahan, Iran in the historic Naghshe Jahan Square:

Websites abound in support of Iranian protesters, here are a few:

Twitter – Helping protesters communicate and organize.  Stayed open despite desperate need to repair site.

Pirate Bay – Protesting and pirating.

BBC – The same news organization that helped the revolution succeed against the tyrant shah are now helping to bring an end to the tyrrany of the current regime.

It is ironic how the current regime is railing against free media and underground organizing, which helped them exactly thirty years ago to do the impossible.  This may be the continuation of a movement for freedom in Iran begun in the 1950’s that is continuing today.

This is a spark that has been in the making for years.  It is like a “flame beneath the sands.  As soon as the winds blew the sand aside, the flames engulf the oppressors.”

Perhaps this will encourage more freedom, regardless of whether the regime topples or not.  Now the powers that be will think twice before closing a reformist newspaper or quelling student free speech or rigging an election.  The consequences of which could bring millions to the streets.
