Protesters all over Iran continue their demonstrations against the June 12 presidential election [1] result that declared Mahmoud Ahmadinejad [2]the winner. Supporters of Ahmadinejad's challenger, Mir Hussein Mousavi [3], and many Iranians who profess to believe in “change” continue to use the colour green as the symbol of their movement. Mousavi and Mehdi Karoubi [4], the other reformist candidate, have asked people to stay calm and protest peacefully. While Iranian state-run TV is not showing images of the demonstrations, Iranian citizen media is full of fascinating photos.  Hamed Saber has published [5] several photos on Wendesday's demonstartion in Hafte tir Square in Tehran. These photos reveal the nature of Iranian protest movement:
