For a new Iranian revolution

Exciting events in Iran recently, with shockingly little attention paid by the Western media. Students at Amirkabir University of Technology in Tehran have been protesting the reburial there of "martyrs" in the war with Iraq; some 70 have been arrested, with 20 transferred to Evin prison. At the notorious Evin prison, meanwhile, there been a series of executions, of prisoners charged with “fighting against God and being corrupt on earth”. AFP reports that 49 people have been executed in Iran so far in 2009.
