Tehran, Iran -- Once again, protesters are rising up against the Iranian government, shouting “Death to the Dictator” at Tehran University. Prior to the protest, the Iranian government had slowed internet access to avoid a repeat of the June uprising in which videos of clashes with police were posted to the internet minutes after they happened.  But that did not deter riot police from clashing with the students today as Iranian security forces fired on the protesters and began beating and arresting them.
