I often ask myself where Mr. Khatami is? I have never been a fan of him and I wonder where he is now. He failed this nation during his presidency after all the affection and support he was given. He should come out and speak for the demands of ordinarily resilient, political mature and wise Iranians. People that despite the possible danger take the fear in their hearts and join others every day to show that they do deserve better than this!
What we want is a new election, this time with proper independent monitoring. The wishy washy idea of a partial recount in a system that has already lost its credibility is unacceptable. We are off to Imam Khomeini Square and hope to bring you some more news later tonight. Here are some photos for you from this afternoon.

Photos and Report: Today I Felt Proud to be an Iranian - Today, after a long time I felt truly proud to be an Iranian. I was at yet another peaceful demonstration at Tehran's 7th Tir Square which lasted two and half hours. Again I witnessed thousands of Iranians calmly, peacefully and quietly walking together from 7th Tir Square along the path of Karimkhan-Zand to Kargar Avenue and then ending at Enghelab Square around 7:30 as many people wanted to leave before it got dark! -Syma Sayyah, Tehran
Photos: Election protests in Tehran on June 17 - Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators flooded Tehran on Wednesday in a fifth day of unauthorized protests demanding the annulment of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election. As a leading Iranian human rights group reported that 32 people had been killed in the protests so far, the government struck back by expelling foreign reporters
Thank you, Syma Sayyah, from Tehran for showing the world what happened after the results of the election.
