A good month or so after the initial protests began in Tehran and subsequently broke out in other large cities throughout Iran, the supporters of moderate leader Mousavi have come out in support of their political leader today - it is also the 10th Anniversary of the uprising by Iranian students which was crushed by the state.
I found this video off the HuffPost continuing live blogging coverage which has been constant from the outset, unlike the coverage from the mainstream media.
I expect the ever-fluid situation in Iran to continue to be in the media narrative over the coming months - news is leaking out of Tehran tonight of the renewing of chants of 'Allah Akhbar' on rooftops across the Iranian capital - these chants are synonomous with the eventual overthrow of the Shah which came about after some 12 months of the sort of demonstrations that we are seeing now, back in 1979.
