This week marks the anniversary of the deaths of three student protesters in 1953. Over the last few days we have been hearing that the Government had plans to crack down on those taking to the streets. They also said that the Internet will be disabled and the media will be watched closely.
We have had issues finding 1st hand accounts of what is happening on the streets of Iran. We will be posting any video that makes it to the Internet asap.
CNN has been our source and here is what they have released December 6.2009.
"Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Despite a heavy police presence in and around Tehran, demonstrators took to the streets on Monday to protest Iran's regime as the country marked a key national anniversary.
Ordinarily, Students Day has been an annual observance of national pride, when Tehran extolls the virtues of the Islamic Revolution.
It commemorates three university students killed in 1953 by security forces of the Western-backed Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, or the shah of Iran -- who was himself removed from power during the revolution two decades later.
This year, officials ringed universities with riot police, wary that any public gathering could turn into demonstrations against the heavily disputed presidential election of June 12.
In that race, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the overwhelming winner -- prompting nationwide protests and the imprisonment of hundreds of demonstrators.
Police manned major intersections. Shopkeepers, fearing violence, shuttered storefronts.
In central Tehran, police clashed with protesters. About 30 security personnel charged a bus stop and chased people away, a witness told CNN.
Plumes of smoke rose from a Dumpster that had been set on fire. While demonstrators chanted "God is Great," pro-government supporters countered with chants of their own.
Police shut down roads leading to Tehran University. Inside, police in riot gear stood guard.
At another college, Sharif University, hundreds had gathered by its gates. A heavy police presence prevented them from going inside, another witness said.
Tehran had reasons to be wary about Monday.
Since the election, other key anniversaries have met with protests against the current leadership.
Protesters and police clashed on November 4, the anniversary of the 1979 siege of the U.S. Embassy in Iran.
In September, demonstrators took to the streets in protest on Quds Day, an annual event that otherwise is meant to show Iran's solidarity with Palestine.
This week, the Iranian government forbade members of the foreign media from even going out and watching any possible protests stemming from Students Day.
However, word trickled out of the country via phone messages and social media updates.
"In our modern history, student movement has always been the flag-bearers and has acted as the reason and purpose for people's movement," said opposition leader Mir Hossein Moussavi, who had challenged Ahmadinejad in the presidential race. "During the bitter days following the coup, and in some of the darkest times in the history of our nation, when all hope seemed to be lost, what happened in the 16th of Azar of 1332 (December 7 of 1953) was a clear sign that the spirit of people and their historical demands are still alive.
"So you won't tolerate the celebration of Azar 16th in the universities, what you are going to do with Azar 17th, and Azar 18th?" he continued in the statement on his Web site. "Even if you silenced all the students, what are you going to do with the reality of the society?"
The three students memorialized on Students Day were killed by the shah's security forces in 1953, which Zohreh Alhean, a member of the Islamic Parliament, said, "signifies the struggle against worldwide oppressions, perpetrated by the American usurpers and the blood of the students, spilled on this day."
Tehran also blamed Western powers for instigating the protests against the June 12 election, which involved tens of thousands of Iranians."
