Darkness Visible

A reader writes:

I just talked to my brother in Tehran. It's awful.

He couldn't go to Baharestan himself, but was very worried for his friends who had gone. Also, he was saying that the state-run TV is broadcasting pictures of people who have been participating in the protests and asking viewers to give information on them. They have also apparently taken pictures in the demonstrations, matched them with  the national ID card database and are now rounding people up in the dead of night.

Martial law and police state indeed.
