Burning Pictures Of Ahmadi And Khamenei

Scenes from last night's rage:

From the Guardian's Robert Tait:

An eyewitness involved in yesterday's demonstrations tells the Guardian that protestors have been chanting "Death to Khamenei" - an unprecedented event. Pictures have also begun to appear of demonstrators setting fire to banners attached to a bridge on one of Tehran's main boulevards bearing the supreme leader's picture.

[Correction: a reader writes:

I just wanted to point out that a video that you and Ann Curry have embedded / linked to of people burning photos of Ahmadi and Khamenei, supposedly from last night, appears to be from last year's Chaharshanbe Suri celebration (yearly pre-new year event taking place in mid-March) and was uploaded on July 14, 2008 to YouTube. If anything, however, the video shows that the people's resistance to the regime has been growing over time and seems to now have reached its tipping point with people openly defying Khamenei and chanting him down by name, which is quite unprecedented.]
