Tehran Demonstrations
Will the past be prologue? In the past, demonstrations of this size in Tehran have led to dramatic change followed by a backlash.
This video also has historical echoes. A demonstration is set upon by motorized policeman. The crowds knock one bike to the ground, but then some choose to protect the injured policeman. In 1978 and 79, demonstrators worked hard to bring the soldiers assigned to put down the riots to their side.
