It's been said that "Freedom isn't free".
No one can understand that more right now than the thousands of Iranians that are fearing for their lives just for making a peaceful protest about a very controversial election.
To get the full measure of what's happening in Iran, you have to understand their form of government. It's a form of Theocratic Republic where the Ayatollah actually has more power than the democratically elected President of the country. (Although right now the word "democratic" would be a word most people wouldn't use to describe the current Presidential elections there where many Iranians feel that the recent election was fixed.)
Much like America did during its Revolution, you have to fight for your rights. Protests only work if you have a government for the people and by the people. The Iranian government has prohibited any newsfeeds, reporting, or peaceful demonstrations regarding the recent election, and has beaten, arrested, and murdered its own citizens so that the Ayatollah's puppet can remain in power.
With the government cracking down on even cell phone videos being released to the internet or updates to sites like Twitter (which currently is the ONLY way we find out what's going on), the plight of the Iranian's newest Revolutionaries may never be fully known.
