Chants of Allahu Akbar — "God is Great" — echoed across the rooftops of Tehran last night as a rallying cry for continued protests. The BBC reports that the chants were growing louder.
There's a video currently making the rounds of a woman narrating these events from her roof. And while we can't verify that the video is actually coming from Tehran (as opposed to, say, Los Angeles), we still found it compelling. The translation is below.
Translation: "Tonight the sound of God is Greater can be heard louder and louder than previous nights Where is this? Where is this place where everything has been blocked? Where is this place where people are just shouting the name of God? Where is this place where the sound of God is Greater can be heard louder and louder? Everyday I'm just waiting to see if there will be more and louder voices at nights? My body trembles, and I wonder if God trembles, too? Where is this where we've been imprisoned so innocently? Where is this where no one gives us a helping hand? Where is this place where we are getting our voices heard worldwide through our silence? Where is this place where the blood of its young people is shed on the streets? Where people stand and pray on their blood? Where is this place where its people are named gangsters and thus? Where is this? This is Iran. This is my land and yours! This is Iran."
