Citizens Shushed

In a rally calling for the release of Iranian opposition leaders in Tehran, citizens were tear-gassed by security forces. The protesters were seen singing anti-government slogans and comparing Iranian authority to the overthrown Tunisian president.

Iranian leaders and security forces tried to keep the people quiet in the midst of rebellions and revolutions occurring in surrounding countries. In my opinion, the people have a right to be heard and it is against instinctual human urge to stay quiet. What the government did is abominable and it's sad that no one could stop it.
