A Troubled Week in Iran
The Big Picture
has some of the best pictures I've seen covering the drawn out riots in
Iran. "Many of the photographs here were taken and transmitted at great
risk in the past week, in the hopes that others would be able to see
and bear witness."
"In the ten days since Iran's disputed presidential election, street
demonstrations have taken place every day. Iranian citizens, supporters
of opposition candidates, continue to take to the streets and document
what they encounter there, despite explicit government bans, the danger
of arrest (many hundreds placed in custody), or possible physical harm
(at least 19 deaths so far)."
