Iran Protests Persist, Becoming Threat For TehranThis article by Jon Gambrell is published by the Associated Press. Here is an excerpt:

In one recent incident, high school students chased away a hard-liner while famous politicians and actresses abroad now are cutting off their hair with scissors, following Iranian women protesters who have done the same.
