Police get surrounded by protesters and escape with their lives. The UK cops, increasingly hated by protesters and general public alike, will probably soon be getting the same treatment
Press TV reported on Sunday that the authorities in Iran now agree that more votes were counted than there were voters in 50 Iranian towns and cities, creating a discrepancy of 3 million votes but the Guardian council is claiming it is not likely to have been decisive in determining the vote. I can't find the Press TV report on the website but there is more on this at the New York Times.
Meanwhile the President of Israel offered his 'support' to the protest movement which is a very foolish thing to do as it will make it easier for the regime to try and split the movement by pointing to further 'foreign involvement'.
The US and UK continue to deny being involved in the movement but they would say that wouldn't they. The US was/is so uninvolved that it ordered Twitter not to take down servers for maintenance overhauls as it might disrupt the attempts by protesters to co-ordinate action on the ground and get info out to the rest of the world.
The western media seems to be more astonished by the fact that people have computers in the Islamic republic, and no - very well - how to use them.
The western hypocrisy surrounding their 'support' of the the protests brings to mind both the US elections stolen by Bush and the fatal police violence executed to plan by the UK police at the G20 summit in London.
