Enduring America's Coverage of the 16 Azar Protests

We'll be live-blogging from 0700 GMT as protesters gather in Tehran and other cities. We have correspondents in place in Europe, Britain, the US, and Iran, bringing out the news as soon as it happens.

We'll also have special features during the day, including a letter we've just received from an observer in Iran: "There has been a major shift in opinion after 13 Aban (the protests of 4 November) in the people around me. I really think the IRI (Islamic Republic of Iran) is finished: and that there is enough support now for complete change."

Is anyone else having trouble getting on twitter (past 10 min getting overcapacity message). I'm probably getting paranoid but I'm ready to blame #Iran coup gov if it stays out on #16Azar and I can't get on #iranelection

I have also had some trouble on getting on things on twitter and getting that overcapacity message, although it hasn't been too bad. It also seems that the government is gearing up for 16 Azar with these reports on Twitter that have been tweeted in the last hour.

Why don't you all use Vidalia Tor to bypass proxies by bridges or relays for censored users so that friends in Iran are not hindered in connecting to the internet and can use your IP which then changes all the time. You will be not traced back
