Iranian opposition forces flooded the web with calls for election protesters to join massive demonstration on the anniversary of Iran’s 1979 Revolution on February 11.
Despite repeated warnings by the government that they will confront any more disruptions with no leniency, the messages defiantly suggest that the planned February 11 demonstrations could become the climactic point of all the protests and street confrontations that have marked every significant date on the Islamic Republic calendar in the past several months.
The wave of web postings also reveals that the opposition can circumvent the government’s tight control on web activity and still harness the capabilities of the internet to get organized as they have done in the past several months.
