Mousavi's Message & Monday's Protest Rallies

Per Andrew Sullivan:
Mir Hossein Mousavi delivered the following phone message to the BBC:

I AM UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE TO ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF THE SHAM ELECTION. THEY HAVE CUT ME OFF FROM ANY COMMUNICATION WITH PEOPLE AND AM UNDER SURVEILLANCE. I ASK THE PEOPLE TO STAY IN THE STREETS BUT AVOID VIOLENCE

The exhortation to "stay in the streets" suggests that Monday's protests, scheduled to begin at four o'clock, will occur as planned. Indeed, an Iranian Twitterer, "IranElection09," also assures readers that, according to "sources close to Mousavi""today's [Monday's] rally will go on as scheduled regardless of government's permission."

Unfortunately, because Iran has been chucking the media out of the country, fair and accurate MSM reportage of the protests could well be nonexistent (or close to it).

Added: just Twittered by Justice4Iran:

ALERT: MOUSAVI, IRAN, ELECTION, TEHRAN, BEGIN A ROSE CAMPAIGN IN SIGN OF PEACE AT ALL MARCH ACROSS IRAN EVERY PROTESTOR CARRIES A ROSE

The protesters' roses will reinforce the idea that the rallies are acts of civil disobedience (the government has banned the planned rallies, so these brave souls will be breaking the law).

Added: Tehran Bureau's Twitter page includes this:

confirmed the Tehran protest from Enghelab to Azadi, tomorrow (Monday) and a national strike on Tuesday.

It looks like Tehran Bureau's website will be down until tomorrow.
