Twitter and Iran Election Protesters May Overcome Government: What You Can Do, Part II

Deborah Oakes, NPS
So far so good, Twitter remains active concerning Iran Election protests. Contingency plans in force in case Twitter gets blocked. The Iran government just might lose to technology. An underground movement like you never saw in support of Iran Election Protesters is active.

Tweets coming in from around the world

10:33 AM, CST, June 15: 400 Iran election protesters in Frankfort

Flicker reported blocked

NYT sets up Iran Twitter live feed and comment box with their colleagues in Tehran, Robert F. Worth and Nazila Fathi

Spent the past few hours on live Iran Election feeds and answered calls for emergency. Requests are for help with wounds, etc:. I have no idea if these are true calls or hoax, but I can't refuse just in case.

The latest Tweets say baiji are blocking off Tehran University and there was violence at the rally. No way to confirm as yet.

Approximately 13 deaths, unconfirmed as yet

BBC went green in support of the Iran Election protesters

Moussavi Mirror websites set up to shield it from Iran police.

Two reports on foreign journalists. One says they have been ordered to leave the country. The other says they are ordered to stay in their rooms.

Jim Scuitto got a report out to ABC today.

If you want to help, read 2 articles.

This tells how to set your Twitter account.

This shares Amnesty International's instructions on emailing or faxing the Supreme Leader.

We can also email our leaders, UN, Amnesty International and shoot for July 4, 2009 as Independence Day for Iran. If you're interested, change your Twitter account as above and open a tab to:

Email CNN and ask them to keep after the State Dept. to keep Twitter online. Contact Amnesty International and plead with them to get satellite phones to Iran election protesters. Tweets are now saying their phones and connections are down.....internet is extremely slow.

Many photos have appeared online for the past couple of days of smashed computers in dorm rooms. Apparently, police raid dorms and look for computers although reports are that 5 students died in raids.

I still can't get past the filter on Iran's facebook page, but if you can, you can post there as well. Let those of us who enjoy our freedom, who never fought for our freedom, join those who are fighting for their freedom.

    It's hard to stop technology. Repressive regimes had better watch out!

    News reports are only saying 3 killed. Are things really calming down or is it the result of less communication? I hope our President is lending more support behind the scenes than he is showing in front of the cameras, if only for those victimized.
