A Death in TehranClashes between security forces and protesters reported in Iran : "Tehran residents reported pockets of protests and clashes with security forces Tuesday on the streets of the Iranian capital.
But protesters appeared, by all accounts, to be heavily outmuscled by police, who showed in force in Tehran's squares and major thoroughfares in anticipation of demonstrations called by supporters of two key opposition leaders.
The Iranian opposition website Kaleme reported that security forces fired tear gas into a crowd of protesters in front of Tehran University. It described the surrounding streets as being very congested.
Witnesses reported more clashes along Azadi Avenue, where protesters were chanting 'death to the dictator' and 'Khamenei is a murderer. His authority is void.'"
