Hundreds of thousands of Iranians gathered in a peaceful rally today in Tehran and other major Iranian cities to express their discontent with election results and support for Mirhossein Moussavi, the rival opposition leader. Unfortunately, people’s nonviolent demonstration had a bloody ending, with reportedly one demonstrater killed and several injured; all this while the supreme leader has agreed to ballot probe.

The following are a photo-article by Boston Globe and a video clip by CNN.

CAUTION: Some of the images are highly disturbing.
