How Iran keeps revolution from flowering on streets of Tehran - Middle East, World - The Independent

How Iran keeps revolution from flowering on streets of Tehran - Middle East, World - The Independent: "Iranian protesters will try to take to the streets of Tehran this morning in an effort to revive opposition to the government, but those demonstrators who do appear are likely to be chased, beaten or arrested by thousands of riot police and baton-wielding militiamen.

The attempt by the Green movement, as anti-government activists are known, to emulate the protests across the Arab world is failing to shake the Iranian authorities, still less overthrow them. Over the past week the centre of Tehran has been calm with protesters making a negligible impact."
