40 days ago
this woman was shot by government-backed militiamen while standing on a Tehran street. The shooting was captured
on video, and the woman became the symbol of a movement.
The protests continue. You can (still) follow developments through
The Lede,
Tehran Bureau, and
Sullivan, and
niacINsight.
Nico has been silent for a few days, but I assume he'll reemerge at some point.
The most interesting recent development is the
growing rift between Ahmadinejad and Khamenei. Mahmoud's support from the religious right is slipping, although his support among the Revolutionary Guard and Basij still appears to be strong.
This isn't over yet.
