Authorities Videos: State Television and Footage Shot

authorities videos: At least 21 people have been killed in the unrest and hundreds more have been arrested by authorities, according to The Chronicle Herald. Demonstrators' videos corresponded with Associated Press reporting from outside of Iran, though individual activists remain unreachable and the protests for now appear leaderless. But even as state television aired footage shot from helicopters of the support for Iran's clerically overseen government, videos emerged showing the anti-government unrest that has swept major cities has also spread to the countryside in the nation of 80 million people. It was not clear if new protests were held Wednesday or if the videos showed earlier events. While many Iranians denounce the violence that has accompanied some demonstrations, they echo the protesters' frustration over the weak economy and official corruption. The past week's protests have been the largest since the disputed 2009 presidential election, which ended in bloodshed. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
