Monday News in Iran

Hundreds of protesters crowded Tehran's Haft-e Tir Square on Monday, despite warnings from the government, eyewitnesses said.Six people were seen arrested at the square.Hundreds of Basij militia -- some in plainclothes -- and riot police were trying to disperse the crowd and managed to clear a crowded pedestrian overpass near the square, the witnesses said. Two helicopters circled overhead.There were lots of Internet postings on Twitter and Facebook about a 4 p.m. (7:30 a.m. ET) vigil at Haft-e Tir Square for a young female protester identified as Neda. Her death, which was caught on camera, has become a rallying cry for many protesters.At Monday's rally in the square, one witness said a male protester in his 20s was chased into an alley by two members of the pro-government Basij militia. A group of protesters chased the Basijis away and then the crowd could be heard chanting "Do not be scared. We are all together."
