Documenting the Election Protests in Iran

iran_protests

Footage of Iranians protesting their elections on the streets of Tehran the past three days has been extremely moving. Unlike the uprising in China in 1989 and the massacre in Tiananmen Square, these scenes of unrest are captured on mobile phones and small digital devices and sent to the world.

We’ve tried to document some of the more recent and best footage and reportage here. Many other Vodpod members are collecting videos about the protests from web sites and news sources around the world, including Video Giornale Interattivo, Dheeruyadav, and Dandelionsalad. You can see all the latest footage collected by our members here.

Please bookmark videos you find, and tag them “Iran” or “Iran Election Protests” so we can help one another to stay informed.
