Reporting suggests there is a massacre ongoing in Baharestan Square.
"I was going towards Baharestan with my friend. This was everyone, not just supporters of one candidate or another. All of my friends, they were going to Baharestan to express our opposition to these killings and demanding freedom. The black-clad police stopped everyone. They emptied the buses that were taking people there and let the private cars go on. We went on until Ferdowsi then all of a sudden some 500 people with clubs came out of [undecipherable] mosque and they started beating everyone. They tried to beat everyone on [undecipherable] bridge and throwing them off of the bridge. And everyone also on the sidewalks. They beat a woman so savagely that she was drenched in blood and her husband, he fainted. They were beating people like hell. It was a massacre. They were trying to beat people so they would die. they were cursing and saying very bad words to everyone. This was exactly a massacre... I don't know how to describe it."
they pull away the dead into trucks - like factory - no human can do this - we beg Allah for save us -
Lalezar Sq is same as Baharestan - unbelevable - ppls murdered everywhere
they catch ppl with mobile - so many killed today - so many injured - Allah Akbar - they take one of us
in Baharestan we saw militia with axe choping ppl like meat - blood everywhere - like butcher - Allah Akbar
If only that were
the worst of it:
I just talked to my brother in Tehran. It's awful.
He couldn't go to Baharestan himself, but was very worried for his friends who had gone. Also, he was saying that the state-run TV is broadcasting pictures of people who have been participating in the protests and asking viewers to give information on them. They have also apparently taken pictures in the demonstrations, matched them with the national ID card database and are now rounding people up in the dead of night.
Update: It's every bit as bad as we thought:
