Militiamen Beat Down Protesters Outside Parliament In Teheran

The Jerusalem Post reports that "large contingents of Iranian security personnel brandished clubs, fired shots into the air and used tear gas to force back hundreds of people who, defying the regime's calls for a halt to protests, gathered outside parliament on Wednesday. Armored vehicles moved in to arrest the demonstrators, 'shoving them in like livestock,' according to a source in Teheran. Mir Hossein Mousavi, the defeated presidential candidate who says the June 12 vote was rigged, has not been seen since last Thursday and is widely believed to be in hiding. But the protests were organized through his official Web site, and he has previously sent messages urging the demonstrators to continue their rallies."
