I've also found the Guardian's live blog to be a good place to see up to date information straight from Iran.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/blog/...24/iran-crisis

There are reports right now of a "massacre" in a certain square in Iran. Also, interviews with one of the militiamen brought in by the regime to beat protesters. He was brought in from the rural provinces and paid about $233 CAD / A DAY (more than a fortune for a poor rural middle-eastern) to beat protesters into submission. He said that he wasn't doing it for religious or government supporting purposes - but because it could allow him to buy one or even two wives. Also reports of the Iranian government bringing in Lebanese affiliated with Hezbollah and paying them even more to beat and kill protesters into silence.
