The Iranian regime beats, shoots and gases protesters in the capital wherever they try to demonstrate on the streets. Lindsey Hilsum reports. Prepared for martyrdom, Iran's defeated presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi has told supporters to stage a national strike if he gets arrested, according to reports from Tehran. Mousavi claimed election-rigging had been planned months in advance and insisted the poll should be annulled. As thousands defied a ban on public rallies, riot police fired tear gas, water canon and live rounds to disperse the crowds

Last major TVbroadcast hurrah before expulsions???

Surely one of the last of the Mohicans.This is an excellent and somewhat lengthy UK major network broadcast with commentary from a journalist who was just expelled. It is comprehensive and gives a really strong sense of what it was  like to be there among the fray. It also includes  footage and commentary of an independent Canadian journalist who was actually beaten by Basij and threatened at gunpoint

Update:A Newsweek reporter has been arrested.

journalist's face wiith things going on behind him. Now they have covered it all, for obvious reasons.

He really must be one of the last of the Mohicans. They have almost all been either expelled or imprisoned or confined to their hotels or summoned to appear by the authorities if they were not found in their hotels.

I think front line journalists are heroes. They put their lives on the line for the public.
