<p>The Guardian&#39;s <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/blog/2010/feb/11/iran-protests-22-bahman">live-blog</a> has a translation of an eyewitness account:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I was in Sadeghiyeh and though people were not holding up any symbols, I think most of them were against the regime because they wouldn&#39;t respond to the official chants from the loudspeakers.</p>
<p>The security forces attacked the crowd violently, with cables, batons, and gas. Where I was, I can say that the 22 Bahman celebrations did not take place. I saw a small gathering of regime supporters and even they were dispersed by the police.</p>
<p>The people were beaten and I even saw some seriously injured individuals. That&#39;s what happens when you&#39;re attacked with chains. But no shots were fired.</p>
