Politics, open government, and safe streets. And the constant incursion of cycling.

TehranLive.org

It’s hard enough getting the straight news in your own language and culture.  So when you spin the globe and move beyond your familiar languages, it can feel nearly impossible.  There are, however, some universals.  Check out TehranLive.org for photos of what’s happening in Iran right now.  It’s not necessarily true that you can believe your own lyin’ eyes, but it’s probably more information than you’re going to get from your usual sources.

Update: As noted below, the photographer responsible for the image below (as well as the TehranLive.org site) has gone missing. Some info (and lots of speculation) in the last comment thread at his site.

    may your faith strengthen you, good judgement guide you, and the attention of the world give you courage.

  3. What a heartbreak these photos are! However, it is wonderful to see so many young women being so brave.
    I lived there in the 70s and have felt so sorry for your lack of freedom after the revolution. I will be wearing green till the election results are settled.

    No leader should allow his own people be shot in the streets. Texas is with the people of Iran. God Bless!!

    It is being reported that the Iranian photjournalist who took these pictures–and had been in touch with LIFE magazine (their latest issue I believe had this very photo on the cover) is now missing.
