I notice that there appears to be no sign of "green" in these videos - no green scarfs, wristbands, etc.

I am thinking that this is significant - can anybody please comment.

Thanks

Barry,

I do not know this for fact but I think it may be out of respect for his family not to turn the first day of mourning into political struggle. I, however, think people will use this occasion to demonstrate against the regime and I will not surprise seeing a sea of Green after the third day of mourning. Some of the chants even today has political overtone and I suspect chants will get more pointed as Montazeri's mourning processions continues for 7 days.

I was thinking last night when I heard the news that Montazeri in death may help Iranians in their quest for freedom from IR tyranny, something he could not achieve in life.

I was suspecting that perhaps that (your first sentence) may be the case. However, the fact that "something" has caused these people to not wear green means to me that either they all think alike :) or they are well organised :)

Regards

Re the Moshen Sq demo

I think this is the first night time demo that I have seen in the streets?? - and also the first street demo where the Regime has not been forewarned about it. I have often wondered the wisdom of conducting street protests - and telling the Regime when and where they are going to be?? The Regime then has plenty of time to get themselves organized.
