CBC News July 30: On-scene report: Iranian police shut down memorial

Iranian police fired tear gas and used batons to disperse thousands of anti-government protesters holding a memorial Thursday in a Tehran cemetery for victims of post-election violence, according to witnesses and state television.

Some mourners chanted, "Neda is alive; Ahmadinejad is dead," referring to Neda Agha Soltan, who was shot to death during protests on June 20, and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whom electoral authorities declared the winner by a landslide in the June 12 elections.

People are lighting cars on fire and rioting. THis is not a protest. In the USA we cannot even protest without 100's being beaten up. Forget about 10 people like in this report. The police in the USA are way worse than IRan's.
