Veteran twitterer Omid Habibinia is still going strong, and also live-blogging for France 24. Here he relays a dramatic account from an Iranian on the ground:
I'm stuck at the Talegani and Valiasr crossroads. The police and the Basij (the Iranian citizen militia) have closed both sides. The Basij are beating people with batons. There are a lot of people, certainly more than on previous student days.
They're coming! [She's starts running].
There are people at the Enghelab [Revolution] Square.
And there are clashes at the Talegani and Valiasr crossroads.
They're arresting a lot of people and leading them away, but people are trying to rescue them.
We've just stopped a Basiji and stolen his motorbike near to Enghelab square."
