"Iran police clash with protesters"

"Security forces have used batons and tear gas to disperse opposition supporters in the Iranian capital, Tehran, witnesses and state media say."

Some unconfirmed reports also state that the police opened fire. The riot consisted of groups of people who opposed the regime and thought that the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was rigged. Riot police and Pro Militiamen packed the in the streets centre of the capital on Wednesday. They were there on the account of reformist leaders urging their supporters to attend peaceful rallies at the the former US embassy. Their arguement is that that they went with their usual peaceful slogans of supporting peace and asking for freedom. A lot of witnesses claim that they saw no agitation or any aggression in the group but they were still attacked violently. Tear gas was used to disperse the protesters quickly. Some arrests were made and at least 30 or more protesters have died since the election in June. It's pretty hard to take sides in this kind of situation because huge groups of people coordinated into one area and the tension between the police and the group can easily cause a spark of violence. It makes sense that the police would try to disperse the group with tear gas or other manners quickly but beating them with batons and allegedly firing at them is different. If this continues to happen then the eople arrested and death toll is definitely going to rise. Although the people from iran are fighting for a good cause, creating such a huge group in one area creates a lot of suspicion for the police which can result in these kind of actions.
