Universities Under Attack

There are several reports that the dorms at Tehran University have been stormed. Many students have been injured. It appears the same has occurred at Isfahan Technical University:

A website I’ve been checking all weekend, tehranbureau.com, has been shut down by the government.
It appears the protestors have been out all night:
Things are starting to get really ugly. There’s also been multiple reports of armed guards blocking entrances to hospitals, not letting the injured through.
It’s now morning in Iran. Moussavi has been trying to organize a march in the afternoon. There’s conflicting reports that he has secured a permit to do so. Regardless, you can expect that the streets will be filled tomorrow.
People of Iran, we are watching. Stay strong.

I’ve been refreshing the search for #iranElection on twitter most of the day, and some of the pictures and videos taken via cell phones are quite haunting.
Apparently there’s a video of a guy being beaten to death in the middle of the day, in front of what looks like his home (or someone elses). It keeps getting taken off of youtube, but people find a way to keep getting it back up.
I have it in flv format on my computer in case someone asks to see it and can’t find it on youtube, but I’m probably not going to post it on juice due to it’s morbid nature.
