They have killed a couple of young people. All foreign reporters have been told to leave, Mousavi and Karroubi and many others under home arrest....<br/> I can tell you about the situation for as long as you want, but that would be a real bother to you, I know.<br/> We are all in a shock, I have been crying all the time about the current situation of our country.<br/> We're experiencing a very bad situation and are expecting support from both inside and outside Iran.
