Iran: crackdown on anti-government protesters grows more violent
In Iran, tens of thousands of opposition demonstrators took to the streets Sunday calling for the end to the Islamic Republic's rule. "In response, the government unleashed what witnesses said was an extraordinary number of security forces to violently battle the crowds. Witnesses said mobs of anti-riot police and plainclothes Basij militia lined the streets and on several occasions fired directly into the crowd and beat protesters with steel batons.
