Leaked video from post-election Iran, taken by the attacker

User onlymehdi just tipped us off to this video, which he says "shows the attack on the University a day after the election" back in June. He explains that "the difference between this video and others is this is shot with a handycam used by the people that attacked the university dorms. This video is a new video and is just leaked out. There is a lot of issues in Iran between the security forces, so this video was leaked somehow."

Iranian Woman Taken Down by Tear Gas

This video (and several copies of it) was posted to YouTube a few hours ago.  It shows an elderly woman who appears to have been tear-gassed by the police during today's demonstrations in Tehran.

A Video that Captures the Unrest

A new video, likely taken early last week, documents the the chaos and unrest of the atmosphere in Tehran. The wild and shaky camerawork vividly represents the nature of the scene as protesters riot and clash with the Basij.

Young Girl Shot, Carried Away by Ambulance

We're not sure if this video is new (if you've seen a copy from earlier, please let us know in the comments), but this version, at least, was just uploaded to the site. It shows a girl who has been shot being hoisted into an ambulance, which is completely surrounded by protesters who are shouting and capturing the scene on cell phone cameras.

A Bus in Flames

This is pretty amazing footage of a bus in Tehran completely engulfed in flames during the protests - with police and protesters standing by and watching at a distance.

Police Beat Woman Protester

There's no indication of when this video was taken, but it shows riot police attacking a protester on the sidewalk, probably in Tehran. A woman standing nearby starts to kick the policeman, and then he turns on her and, along with several other police, starts beating her with a stick.

Protesting Inside a Mosque

We haven't seen very much footage uploaded of people gathering and demonstrating indoors, but this video was just posted of Iranians protesting yesterday inside of a mosque:

Snipers on the Roof - June 20

This video provides a new point of view on what Tehran was like on June 20th, at the height of the protests and bloody clashes between citizens and the police. Shot from a very tall building, this footage captures snipers shooting off of a roof at protesters down below.

Sunday Round-Up

Many more videos posted of protests that happened in Tehran today. Here's a playlist:



This one appears to have been shot by someone standing at a window inside a building who is looking down at the street below, watching riot police harassing and beating man in the street:



This video captures a confrontation between a bunch of young Iranian protesters and a group of riot police standing-off against one another in an alleyway. Hard to detect what's going on here:



This one offers an interesting perspective on what the streets of Tehran are like right now with riot police seen on every block:

Iran's National Poet: Simin Behbahani

NPR's Davar Ardalan spoke with Simin Behbahani, Iran's national poet, on Friday. Behbahani has written two new poems, inspired by the protests, which she reads here:

From Mousavi's Spokesman

Nico Pitney, who has been live-blogging the situation in Iran with great dedication on the Huffington Post since Day One, wrote a post about this video today. He notes that it's "from film director Mohsen Makhmalbaf, who has on occasion acted as Moussavi's 'external spokesman.'" For the full translation of the video, read Pitney's post here.

Replacing the Flag in Stockholm

This shaky video shows Iranians outside of the Iranian embassy in Stockholm protesting the election and replacing Islamic Republic flag with the sun and lion flag used pre-revolution:

New Footage of Protester-Basij Clash

A new video that shows a clash between protesters and the Basij - reportedly from Wednesday June 24th - which is particularly dramatic because the footage has been posted in slow motion:

Cell Phone Footage of Another Man, Shot in the Head

Yet another gruesome video, likely caught on a cell phone camera, of a man shot in the head by a member of the Basij:

Basij Truck Drives Through Crowd

This short video shows a large crowd of Iranians gathered in a public area. The scene seems quite calm until the last few seconds when a truck - supposedly driven by members of the Basij - revs its engine and starts to drive right through the crowd. You can hear screaming as the camera loses focus and the video ends.
