Protestors have been fighting bullets with technology. Wherever we go, we're surrounded by people, like us, filming on their cell-phones, and spreading the word on websites like Facebook and Twitter, which has led government censors to block them.
A Mousavi supporter scoffed at the government, saying "the government thinks that blocking websites can prevent the protests [...] but if people want, they can reach their goals anyway."
And the word still gets out, with amateur videos being posted on YouTube and shown to the world. BBC Persian reported receiving videos from viewers at the rate of 5/minute Tuesday.

non so se hai notato che in Italia non si è assolutamente parlato di questo grosso casino..
In Italia spesso l'informazione è italocentrica quando non è addirittura autoreferenziale.
L'Iran , anche se è per noi un importante partner commerciale, viene sentito molto lontano.
Ora che non hanno rinnovato il visto ai giornalisti, compresi quelli RAI, mi chiedo quanto se ne parlerà, anche perchè soprattutto per la tv, esiste quasi solo quello che è filmabie. I video amatoriali possono andar bene, finché arrivano, ma la qualità dell'immagine è bassa a volte. Vedremo.
