Iranian protesters introduce a new concept: "To F#%k Back" (VID) (SFW)

The footage is from last friday, the Quds day. It takes place in Haft-e-Tir sq., downtown Tehran.

The small bunch that start running & hitting people early in the video, are Basij members; however their attack causes a backlash from angry protesters when they fight back & set the Basiji's motorcycles on fire.

That's a big bummer & the government takes advantage of shortcomings like this; kudos to anyone who's working to fix that. hope they come up wit something soon.

Is there a way to fix this? to get around blocking https? Beside using tor that is.

Yesterday was the last Friday of ramadan; in Iran that's a public holiday called the Quds day (the Jerusalem day) & an official government promoted rally is held.

Protesters used this opportunity & poured to the streets, hijacking the official rally.

Great point; totally agree.

An intervention would hurt us, more than it helps. Getting the word out & covering the events is something else though. that's helpful.

Good idea; I'll pass it along to my friends.

However, the main problem remains; this is good for a few people, but you can't have a whole nation switch their e-mail service over night. Most people are not tech-savvy & can't handle it easily.

many proxy "sites" are themselves filtered. The only sustainable option is to use "softwares" who use proxy servers; such as ultrasurf, freegate, jap, etc.

Surprisingly enough, today many of these softwares have stopped working or are facing serious problems inside Iran.

Many thanks for what you did; you can't imagine how helpful/useful these things are.

Yes, we should try. But to us, emails are not luxury items; they're essential to what we do.

With banned newspapers, blocked news sites, monitored phone lines & a government owned TV, e-mail is one of our last options for free semi-secure communication.

Here's Google's translation; it's almost aweful, but it gives you the idea:

I'm out of the country at the moment. I've been talking to my friends via phone.

I double checked it; They can't log in in Gmail, Facebook & Yahoo Mail.
