The aftermath of the Iranian election has been extremely violent. Protestors have lost many forms of communication and have been threatened with jail time. Many predicted some sort of election fraud had taken place, but hoped that the matter would be cleared up soon. In the flurry of news coming from Iran, Youth Radio secured e-mails sent from a female Iranian documenting the events unfolding around her. For her own safety, we refer to her as only "Bani".

Like many Iranians, Bani was disappointed when more and more votes were tallied for Ahmadinejad.

"Now it's 4 am. We sit here drinking tea and smoking cigarettes, completely cut off from all information and news, except for that which comes through our satellite television.  BBC Persian is already announcing that internet services and SMS communications have been deactivated.  Fraud is the main topic, and an election expert goes through the 3 main ways that this election could be stolen.  The result is grim; we are once again reminded who owns the country."

Bani and others feared what was to come as they watched Ahmadinejad supporters speed past violenty on motorbikes taunting them. The next few days were filled with chaotic protests and police brutality. Bani reported that she was not able to make it through the angry mobs to see what was going on near the Ministry. However, she did hear that a couple of people were killed, and buses and cars were set on fire. With Facebook, YouTube, and other forms of communication still blocked, it became increasingly difficult for Bani and her friends to tell the world what was going on in Iran. She did manage to send a few more messages while internet access was briefly available.

Walking down Vali Asr Street, we passed truck loads of police, riot police on motorbikes with automatic weapons, all of whom were making their way to a few of the major squares where most of the action had been taking place

since early morning.  We made our way to Mirdamad Street where people were fighting with a group of soldiers.  Breaking the pavement, groups of young and old, men and women pushed the soldiers back by throwing stones.

Of course the soldiers would charge on the crowd, and it would all continue.  You all know the story.

We filmed the clashes on the ground.  Distant smoke, fires, people breaking the pavement, cars honking in support.  A truck bringing in bricks for people was stopped by the police and its driver brought down.  Much to tell, and many images to share.  I will try to email them.  YouTube has been shut down here.

After the major riots on June 13, 2009, Bani sent a message the following day stating that an unofficial curfew was set. Militias with batons roamed the streets at night, preventing activists and protesters from gathering. Despite these efforts, the riots still continued. Bani sent messages the next day stating that due to the increase in riots and protests, it became offically illegal to gather, meaning if more than three or four people were seen together, they would be hit with batons until they moved.

On June 15, 2009, Bani and others participated in a "Silent" march which ended with nerve gas and other chemical agents. By the end of the march, there were five confirmed deaths.

We will continue our report as we gather more information.
