Greetings from Iran! The presidential election campaign officially started here on Friday, and Ahmadinejad seems to become increasingly nervous ... as Facebook and Twitter have been blocked since last weekend!! Still, Hossein Mousavi appears to become the most serious contender and he manages to draw many young Iranians.
On my photo from yesterday you see Mousavi supporters (easily recognizable by their "green wave" ribbons) being confronted by a pro-Ahmadinejad man (center) . Within seconds the situation escalated, not least due to the walkie-talkie units which many of Ahmadinejad's people carry to request immediate support. Luckily, only arguments were exchanged. Hopefully, I will be able to post the full story soon on my webpage (uploading images seems to be blocked, too)!
