This from Global Voices — The world is talking.  Are you listening?

Iran’s Green Movement is ready to defy the Iranian regime with protests once again – this time during the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution on 11 Februrary (22 Bahman). During this week the Iranian State will celebrate the day that marked the end of the Iran’s western-backed monarchy and the beginning of an Islamic republic. According to news reports from inside Iran, internet access, email, and text-messaging services have been disrupted the past days in advance of the protests.

Here’s more about the “complex logistical scheme” that is being implemented to divert “the eyes of the international press confined to designated areas within the square” away from the protesters.  “On the early hours of Thursday morning, the plan is to fill the space with die-hard supporters while checking the bags and pockets of the others wanting to gain entry to the protected zone to make sure they don’t carry any Green paraphernalia.” …  “Along these lines, one should not expect severe and massive attacks on protesters on Thursday, at least not until the regime loyalists have left the premises. That would be roughly by 2 pm or thereabouts.”
