Sunday Iran News Links

Seth Fischer bio ↓  ·  June 14th, 2009  ·  filed under politics

The Iranian government arrests over 100 opposition leaders. It looks like this might get really, really violent.

Talking Points Memo has a photo gallery of what’s happening. 

After all other forms of communication are cut, there are reports of Twitter-organized rooftop chants from opposition supporters. Also, Twitter users all over the world have overwhelmed Supreme Leader Khamenei’s and Ahmadinejad’s web sites. 

The Mullahs in Iran rigged the election because of fear of “the Barack Obama effect.”

Vice President Joe Biden expresses “doubt” that Ahmadinejad won legitimately. 

Ahmadinejad refuses to guarantee his opponent’s safety. 

This is just heartbreaking.
