Change for Iranians in the making?

About 140 Iranian protesters, who took their fervent demand to the streets for the recount of the last month's presidential election results, have been released from the Evin prison. About 200 others, who supposedly are accused of more serious crimes, remain in the prison.




Neda Agha-Soltan was one of the killed during the protest.



Iran's leaders remain under pressure from the world demanding fair conduct towards prisoners. It has been reported by BBC and Reuters that fights between the opposition and police are ongoing and that about 30 people were killed in street clashes. Let's light a candle in memory of those who have sacrificed their lives carving out ways to freedom for others.
