It is now midnight in Tehran and here is the Twitter report for the last 24 hours from the individual I follow most closely. It makes for heavy reading with its eye-witness report of deadly and brutal attacks on people today at Baharestan Square. Also, this Twitter and his group of trusted contacts are apparently now on the run as the authorities seem to be closing in on them. He writes: "we must go - dont know when we can get internet - they take 1 of us, they will torture and get names - now we must move fast." That and two other messages were posted four hours ago and since then nothing more. With only 24 messages today versus his 100 messages yesterday, it is clear that things are getting ever more difficult and dangerous as the regime tightens both the physical and IT noose.
