“Swinging clubs and firing tear gas, security forces clashed Wednesday with demonstrators who ignored a new demand by Iran’s supreme leader to end nearly two weeks of protests and accept the disputed results of the country’s recent presidential election. … Iranians who witnessed the violence wrote in Farsi-language Internet postings and blogs that many protesters were injured by security forces wielding clubs, pipes and electric cables and firing tear gas and live ammunition in the air. State-run media accounts denied there was any violence, insisting that security forces dispersed demonstrators outside a subway station at Baharestan Square, while other protesters were prevented from gathering in a nearby area.” (06/24/09)
