Sunday was supposed to be a day off for the demonstrators, but, as the man said, I guess that depends on what your definition of “day off” is. The following videos for Sunday were passed to me by Ardeshir Arian. The second shows quite a crowd. In the third, people are taking refuge in a retail store to avoid arrest.
Ardeshir also informs me that the influential House Speaker Ali Larijani is switching sides in the ever Byzantine relations between the mulllahs and now may be favoring his old enemy Rafsanjani. That would be good news for Mousavi and the demonstrators, but who knows?
Coming up – a general strike on Tuesday. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are days of mourning.

1. AQUA:Rafsanjani’s name keeps coming up as part of the opposition — He’s the one who first suggested nuking Israel in 2001 —
“atomic bomb would not leave anything in Israel, but the same thing would just produce damages in the Muslim world.”
