Silent protests in Iran expected to draw thousands

Demonstrations are planned in more than 200 cities and towns across the country, protesting last month’s disputed election. Participants are advised to carry nothing heavier than a rose. According to the L.A. Times:

Reporting from Tehran and Beirut — There are no formal organizers and no leader has called on followers to join in. But in cities across Iran, thousands of people are planning to silently march today in unauthorized demonstrations.

The demonstrators intend to show their discontent over the reelection last month of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and commemorate the 10th anniversary of a violent confrontation between students and security forces.
