CNN This is a massacre June 24, 2009 Tehran Baharestan
CNN’s Ivan Watson was left dumbfounded on Wednesday during an interview with an unnamed eyewitness in Iran who told the news network that security forces mercilessly beat protesters.
The woman, whose identity CNN chose to keep secret for fear of reprisal by the Iranian government, also said she believed security forces had fired into a crowd.
“The black-clad police, they stopped everyone, they emptied the buses that were taking people [to the protests] … and then all of a sudden some 500 people with clubs and boots [came out of a mosque] and they poured into the street and they started beating everyone,” the eyewitness said.
“They beat a woman so savagely that she was drenched in blood, and her husband was watching the scene — he just fainted.”
Watson was left dumbfounded as the near-hysterical interviewee gave an impromptu plea for help from the West.
“This was a massacre,’ she said. “They were trying to beat people so that they would die. They were beating old men. This was exactly a massacre. You should stop this. You should help the people of Iran who demand freedom.”
This video is from CNN’s Newsroom, broadcast June 24, 2009.

People need to know any and all news coming out of Iran, because their gov't is really trying to keep a clamp on it..
Remember, Iran is a civilized, industrialized, first-world country. These things are not limited to poverty-stricken countries!

more disinfo & speculation?
call me suspicious but since you joined a week ago, 98% of your posts are about Iran and tend to be speculative and offer no real verifiable proof for what they claim.
