Because the mainstream media has been censored in Iran, it's very hard to get a sense from TV of what's going on. Based on the posts and tweets on AndrewSullivan.com and HuffingtonPost.com -- two of the best sources -- the situation has worsened.
For instance, Andrew posts these tweets from Baharestan Sq:
"I see many ppl with broken arms/legs/heads - blood everywhere - pepper gas like war...ppl run into alleys and militia standing there waiting - from 2 sides they attack ppl in middle of alleys...
saw 7/8 militia beating one woman with baton on ground - she had no defense nothing -... so many ppl arrested - young & old - they take ppl away"
just in from Baharestan Sq - situation today is terrible - they beat the ppls like animals
As President Obama said, we need to bear witness. So spread the word.
